Meanwhile, Queen actress Kangana Ranaut also took to her official Instagram handle to repost Shaailesh’s picture of Thalaivi’s clapboard.

From learning Tamil to taking on dance lessons and even opting for top-notch prosthetics, Kangana has been working hard for her role.

The film is reportedly in troubled waters as Jayalalithaa’s niece has approached Madras High Court seeking a stay on the film. Deepa has stated in her affidavit that AL Vijay, the director of the Thalaivi, has not taken her consent for the film.

The film is slated for release in 2020.
