A new still from the upcoming Kangana Ranaut starrer, Thalaivi, defines the film's subject, the late J. Jayalalithaa, as a dance icon. Thalaivi is a biopic of Jayalalithaa, who was a huge moviestar and renowned dancer before she forayed politics, going on to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. In the new still, Kangana is seen in a Bharatanatyam pose. The photograph was shared by the film's creative producer Brinda Prasad on Twitter. "Madam J. Jayalalithaa was a great dancer & here presenting you the look of #KanganaRanaut as #Jayalalithaa from #Thalaivi with @thearvindswami as #MGR," Brinda tweeted.
Kangana Ranaut's sister, Rangoli Chandel, also tweeted the pic with the caption: This extraordinary still is from Thalaivi - The revolutionary leader.
