Ever since it was announced that actor Kangana Ranaut will be essaying the role of former chief minister of Tamil Nadu late Jayalalithaa in a biopic on the superstar-turned-politician, there was a lot of anticipation around how the actor would look, especially in her older version.
Producer Vishnu Induri, who had earlier revealed that Hollywood artist, Jason Collins, who has worked on films like Blade Runner and Caption Marvel, will be working on Kangana’s look in Thalaivi. Kangana flew to Los Angeles a few days ago for the same, and now, few pictures of her undergoing a transformation have been revealed.
Sister Rangoli Chandel shared the pictures on her social media where we can see Kangana being completely covered in prosthetic glue for her tests, which she must have kept for a long time for the team to have a set to check and work upon.
Rangoli explained the process and said how difficult it is to be an actor. She tweeted, “This is how measurements for prosthetics are taken. It’s not easy to be an actor. Kangana is so calm in something which is so suffocating for us to even watch.”
The actor, when she was leaving for LA, had earlier said, “I am very curious about this process. I don’t know how it will impact my expressions and approach to my character but this is going to be a one-of-a-kind experience for me.”
The prosthetics will be in addition to Kangana’s lessons for Bharatnatyam and Tamil. The film will go on floors post Diwali and will be shot in Mysore, Karnataka.
