Actress Kangana Ranaut took the stage and grabbed all attention during the press conference for her upcoming movie ‘Thalaivii in the capital on Thursday. Kangana hinted she could even take the plunge in politics later, just like the protagonist of her latest movie.
Kangana was accompanied by the producer of the film Vishnu Vardhan Induri. The actress looked glamorous in a traditional silk saree. Kangana Ranaut started the press conference saying her voice is a bit low as she is not keeping well. “My voice is a little bit down because of a little cold, it’s not Covid but we are here and I appreciate the turn out,” she laughed as she responded to questions.
Kangana Ranaut, who has been vocal on a number of issues related to national interest, was asked if this movie would help her in any way in entering politics as she has now touched the South. —IANS
She said: “This movie might not be released in Hindi in multiplexes and multiplexes have always tried to bully the producers. And they are the same. I am a nationalist and I speak for the country not because I am a politician but as a responsible citizen. And as far as entering politics is concerned, I might need a lot of support from the public but right now I am happy to be an actress. But if tomorrow people like me and support me, then definitely I would love to.”
Kangana, who plays the role of late Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu J. Jayalalithaa, feels that the movie is more about the journey of Jayalaithaa and never meant to try to change any mindset related to male-dominant society.
“In ‘Thalaivii’ it is shown that the person about whom people thought would never be a politician or won’t be able to take care of such a volatile state, not only became the chief minister but won elections a number of times. And her guru or mentor in politics – MGR – always supported her. So, this movie shows how certain times men are also supportive for a woman to grow in life,” Kangana Ranaut said.
