Kangana Ranaut on learning Bharatnatyam for a song in Thalaivii: Taking up new challenges makes me stronger

Kangana Ranaut’s multilingual film Thalaivii is all set to hit the big screens on 10th September 2021. The makers of the film are all set to release a new song titled Nain Bandhe Naino Se in which we will get to see Kangana doing Bharatnatyam.

The teaser of the song has been released. T-Series took to Twitter to share the teaser with everyone. They posted, “Filled with elegance & grace, her scintillating aura returns on screen. Travel back in time with Jayalalithaa’s classical era in #NainBandheNainoSe #KannumKannumPesaPesa #Nandhalala, out tomorrow!”


The song will be out on Saturday (04), and Kangana will be seen performing with 100 trained dancers in it. The actress herself underwent training to learn Bharatnatyam.

While talking about learning the dance form, the actress said, "Every day working on Thalaivii has been a learning experience for me. This song challenged me to learn a new art form- Bharatnatyam. Jaya maa was an incredible powerhouse of talent, she was a trained dancer, and playing her, I had to look believable in my craft on screen. Taking up new challenges makes me stronger, so I took up the task to learn this traditional dance form- Bharatnatyam. With innumerable hours of rehearsals, practice, and finally the shoot, we have offered our sweat and blood with Nain Bandhe Naino Se and I'm thrilled to present the song to the world."

Directed by Vijay, Thalaivii also stars Arvind Swami, Bhagyashree and Madhoo. The movie will release in three languages, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Exclusive: Mohini Dey on breaking barriers in music — “I wasn’t hired for being a woman, I was hired because I deliver”

Mohini Dey laughs down the line, a deep, unfiltered chuckle that cuts through the noise. “Ronnie Scott’s? With my band, playing my music? That’s crazy,” she says, still letting it sink in. Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye from Los Angeles, where she recently wrapped a show at the Hollywood Bowl with Willow Smith, the 28-year-old bassist is now preparing for her first headline performance in the UK this July.

For Dey, who grew up riding Mumbai’s local trains with a Walkman and no room for childhood distractions, this moment feels both improbable and hard-earned. It’s the kind of full-circle milestone that doesn’t come from luck, but from surviving, insisting, and showing up anyway.
