Kangana Ranaut says she wants to believe that Jayalalithaa chose her for Thalaivii as when she was shooting for the assault scene, her Mumbai home was demolished by Shiv Sena.
Kangana Ranaut's much-awaited film Thalaivii, a biopic on politician and actress J. Jayalalithaa who served as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu for more than 14 years, is all set to be released on September 10.
The film has already garnered positive responses from several critics who called it the best performance of her career.
#Thalaivii is one of the finest biopics made in India with a lot of sincerity by Dir.#Vijay. Very well presented the life of #Jaya engagingly.

While #KanganaRanaut is brilliant in her acting, all of us are going to love #NJR @thearvindswami sir. He is outstanding. Do watch??? pic.twitter.com/CK11FJlUt5
Wanted to clap on each & every scene of hers. #ArvindSwami is phenomenal? #RajArjun is one of the main pillars of #Thalaivii. Every actor is top notch. Producers @ShaaileshRSingh and @vishinduri take a bow. Making such a large scale amidst the pandemic is not a simple task. 2/2

She said that after revealing that she when was shooting for an assault scene in the movie, her Mumbai home was being demolished by Shiv Sena. She calls this uncanny resemblance to real-life as "real and reel life are clashing into each other".

"It is actually uncanny that when we were shooting these scenes when Jaya amma was assaulted in the assembly, Shiv Sena was breaking my house. It was happening exactly around the same time. I was on the set and shooting these scenes (assembly assault), this drama was going on in Mumbai," she said.

For the unversed, Jayalalithaa who was the first woman to become the leader of the opposition was assaulted on March 25, 1989, in the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly. Her saree was torn during the incident.
