A Kangana Ranaut fan club shared pictures of Kangana’s character in two looks, one as a young dancer and the other as a senior politician, portraying the massive transformation she went through. It also included a statement of AL Vijay who hailed in her efforts in the acting department as well as weight transformation. He said, “Everyone knows how good Kangana is as an actress. Her screen presence, performance, and dialogue delivery as Jayalalithaa was amazing. To look like Amma, she took a lot of effort; she put on 17 kilos and had to reduce 15 kilos for a song.”  

The filmmaker also shared how Kangana shared her experience and knowledge of filmmaking to provide him valuable feedback, like suggesting an introduction scene for Roja actor Madhoo.
