And then, we see Kangana as a younger version of Jayalalithaa, when she was a budding film star.
Kangana mimics the former CM's dance steps for a take.
Kangana, in her second look, is almost unrecognisable as she flashes a victory sign in a green saree and cape.
Thalaivi is directed by Vinay and co-produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri and Shaailesh R Singh.
Actor Arvind Swamy plays film actor and Jayalalithaa’s political mentor MG Ramachandran in the film.
“I am excited to show this story of an actor-turned-politician, which is based on one of India’s most loved and followed public figures,” Vishnu, who is also producing 83, said.
“Thalaivi is a very dear project to all of us as it is a story that needs to be told. And the way, Kangana has slipped into the character, is simply amazing,' Vishnu added.
Kangana’s prosthetics for the film are created by Hollywood make-up artist Jason Collins.
Kangana has been undergoing training in classical dance to play the role of the actor-turned-politician.
Thalaivi will apparently be released in multiple languages. It will be titled the same in all languages.
Thalaivi is scheduled to release on June 26, 2020.
