Mumbai: Actor Kangana Ranaut has kick started the preparation of her upcoming flick Jaya, featuring the role as former Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa. The film is a biopic of the late leader.
The Queen actor has been spotted taking Bharatnatyam classes regularly as she will soon shoot a grand song for the film with over 100 background dancers. The song will be choreographed by renown south Indian choreographer Gayathri Raghuram.
In accordance with the period the track is set in, the song will have a distinctly retro vibe. Going by her diligent rehearsals, it looks like Kangana is all set to deliver a song which will set new benchmarks.
