Kangana Ranaut to shake a leg on a grand retro song in Jayalalithaa biopic

Kangana Ranaut leaves no stone unturned to be perfect in every character she plays on the big screen and Jayalalithaa won’t be an exception. The biopic on the late politician is titled as Jaya in Hindi and Thalaivi in Tamil. To prepare for her character Kangana is attending Bharatnatyam classes regularly from the past one week.

For the uninitiated, before becoming a politician Jayalalithaa was an actress and now, it has been revealed that the biopic will have a grand retro song featuring Kangana. The track will have 100 background dancers and it will be choreographed by renowned choreographer Gayathri Raghuram who is a big name down South.


We have seen Kangana shaking a leg on many songs like Banno, Ghani Bawri, London Thumakda, and others and she has always stolen our hearts with her thumkas. We are sure that the actress will give her best in this retro track as well.

Earlier while talking about playing Jayalalithaa, Kangana had stated, “In Politics, Indira Gandhi and Jayalalithaa are considered incomparable. Whatever task they had, they did it with full dedication and shined through it, be it politics or any other subject. Jayalalithaa Ji became the CM of Tamil Nadu thrice in a row which indicates how much people loved her. She always stood strong with her immense strength and valour. I'm a fan of this particular quality of Jayalalithaa Ji.”

Meanwhile, we will get to see Kangana on the big screen in Panga which is slated to release during Republic Day weekend next year. The actress plays the role of a Kabaddi player in the Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari directorial. She also has Dhaakad in her kitty which will hit the screens on Diwali next year. Kangana was last seen on the big screen in Judgementall Hai Kya in which she gave an award-winning performance.
