A day before the launch of the Kangana Ranaut starrer Thalaivi's trailer, the makers treated us to lovely visuals from the film, which is based on J Jayalalithaa's life and politics.

The pictures show Kangana's transformation from actress to chief minister.

 

Thalaivi depicts the varied stages of Jayalalithaa's life, and Kangana writes about her challenges while playing her: 'Gaining 20 kgs and loosing it all back within a span of few months wasn't the only challenge that I faced while filming this Epic Biopic, wait is getting over just in few hours Jaya will be your forever.'

Thalaivi brings us the struggles of Jayalalithaa's life from a rising star to the face of Tamil cinema, later emerging as the leader who shaped Tamil Nadu politics over 30 years.
