New Delhi: Actor Kangana Ranaut on Thursday paid homage to late former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on her third death anniversary.
Indian film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared a picture of the 32-year-old actor paying homage to the actor-turned-politician Jayalalithaa on his Instagram and Twitter handles.
Ranaut was seen standing with folded hands in front of a garlanded picture of the late political leader.
Bollywood's Queen will be essaying the role of south India's beloved late politician in a biopic titled Thalaivi.

A very intriguing teaser and poster for the much talked about Jayalalithaa biopic was released in the last week of November.
However, netizens gave a lukewarm response to Kangana's look as Jaylalithaa. While substantial hype had been created over Kangana's prosthetic preparation for the role in the US, once the first look was revealed, many on social media were far from impressed. Rather than Jayalalithaa, the look was compared by netizens, in turns, to Anil Kapoor's obese avatar in "Badhai Ho Badhai", and ever Smriti Irani.
Thalaivi is being helmed by AL Vijay and is written by Baahubali and Manikarnika writer KV Vijayendra Prasad and The Dirty Picture and Once Upon a Time in Mumbai writer Rajat Arora. The movie is set to hit theatres on June 26, 2020, in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil languages.
