Here’s How Kangana Ranaut Is Preparing For ‘Thalaivi’, Gives Measurements For Prosthetics To Step Into Jayalalithaa’s Shoes

New Delhi: ‘Queen’ Kangana Ranaut never ceases to overawe fans with her par excellence performances and she seems all set to bring yet another powerful act on-screen. Her extensive preparations for ‘Thalaivi’ in the US are proof! Kangana measured for prosthetics for the film and the pictures of her being covered in glue were posted by sister Rangoli Chandel on Twitter. Going by the pictures, looks like Kangana is all set to step into the shoes of ‘iron lady’ Jayalalithaa. The extensive measurements for prosthetics are in addition to the ‘Simran’ actor learning Bharatnatyam and Tamil for Thalaivi. The film will go on floors post-Diwali near Mysore.

Kangana flew to Los Angeles a few days ago for the measurements.

“This is how measurements for prosthetics are taken, it’s not easy to be an actor, Kangana so calm even in something which is so suffocating for us to even watch ,” the sister tweeted.
