Kangana Ranaut gearing up for Thalaivii sequel?

As Thalaivii captures J. Jayalalithaa's journey as a woman who breaks into the men's world, both in politics and cinema, the second half of her real life is not much explored in the film and that seems to have encouraged makers to come up with the sequel of the film.

Hyderabad: Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut is receiving positive reviews for his portrayal of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa in the biographic drama Thalaivii which was released on September 10. The film does not reveal much of Jayalalithaa as a politician who served as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu for more than fourteen years between 1991 and 2016. As Thalaivii captures the late politician's journey as a woman who breaks into the men's world, both in politics and cinema, the second half of her real life is not much explored in the film and that seems to have encouraged makers for the sequel of the film.

According to several reports, Thalaivii s soon going to have a sequel. A webloid quoted source close to Kangana saying, "Film's sequel is definitely on cards. There is so much more to reveal about Jayalalithaa's life. People are excited about the film and definitely, it will give the makers a reason to make a sequel."

Meanwhile, talking about the film, Kangana in one of her interviews said that the movie is more about the journey of Jayalaithaa and never meant to try to change any mindset related to male-dominant society. She said, "In Thalaivii it is shown that the person about whom people thought would never be a politician or won't be able to take care of such a volatile state, not only became the chief minister but won elections a number of times. And her guru or mentor in politics - MGR - always supported her. So, this movie shows how certain times men are also supportive for a woman to grow in life."

The film stars Kangana Ranaut as Jayalalithaa and Arvind Swami as M.G. Ramachandran. Shot simultaneously in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, it is directed by A.L. Vijay and is written by K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, Madhan Karky (Tamil), and Rajat Arora (Hindi).
