Jayalalithaa was remembered on Saturday on her fourth death anniversary, with Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut paying tributes to her. Former Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalithaa died on December 5, 2016, after 75 days of hospitalisation.
"I am proud to pay floral tributes on the day of their revolutionary mother who changed the way the world sees actresses. We respect femininity," Kangana wrote. The actress also shared pictures from the sets of the film remembering the iconic political stalwart. Kangana, who will be seen essaying the role of the dynamic leader on-screen, paid her respect on Twitter while sharing stills where she can be seen resembling the late political leader while handling her work.
உலகம் நடிகைகளை பார்க்கும் கண்ணோட்டத்தை மாற்றிய, நமது புரட்சித்தலைவி அம்மா அவர்களின் நினைவு நாளில் மலரஞ்சலி செலுத்த பெருமைபடுகிறேன்.

About Thalaivi
Thalaivi also stars Arvind Swamy, Bhagyashree, and Madhoo Shah in pivotal roles. Earlier, the actress received heaps and bounds of appreciation from the director on social media who penned a heartwarming letter and praised Kangana’s dedication.
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.
