Kangana Ranaut was shooting Thalaivi before the lockdown was announced. A few days ago, the actress resumed the shooting of the film and wrapped up a schedule in Hyderabad, India.
For her character in the movie, Kangana had gained 20 kgs, and now, the actress is all set to lose weight. Kangana took to Instagram to share a picture from her morning workout and captioned it as, “I had gained 20kgs for Thalaivi, now that we are very close to completing it, need to go back to my earlier size, agility, metabolism and flexibility. Waking up early and going for a jog/walk .... who all are with me ?”
Thalaivi is a biopic on late actor-turned-politician Jayalalithaa. Directed by AL Vijay, the movie was slated to release in June this year but was delayed due to the pandemic.
A few days ago, when Kangana wrapped up a schedule of the film in Hyderabad, the actress had posted on Instagram, “With the blessings of Jaya Ma we completed one more schedule of Thalaivi- the revolutionary leader. After corona many things are different but between action and before cut nothing changes. Thank you team @vishnuinduri @shaaileshrsingh #alvijay.”
The new release date of Thalaivi is not yet announced. There were reports that the makers are in a dilemma due to the climax shoot of the film. The climax of the movie requires more than 300 people on the sets and with current shooting guidelines in India; the makers can’t have so many people on the sets. They are hoping that by November things will be better and they will be able to shoot the climax.
Apart from Thalaivi, Kangana has films like Tejas and Dhaakad in her kitty. The former will start rolling in December this year.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
