About Thalaivi:
The teaser of Thalaivi featured Kangana Ranaut in two getups, one from Jayalalitha’s initial days as a bubbly actor, and the other being adored by thousands as a leader. Jayalalitha was known as 'Puratchi Thalaivi', or in other words, a ‘Revolutionary Leader.’ Thalaiva, on the other hand, means leader too. Rajinikanth is famously addressed with the title or with ‘Thalaivar’. Other popular names in Tamil Nadu like Ajith and Chennai Super Kings Captain MS Dhoni are addressed as ‘Thala’, meaning a leader as well.
Once the first look of the film was released, it gained critical and mixed responses from fans and netizens. Kangana Ranaut also faced the ire of netizens when she gave an interview claiming that for the role, given that she is 'quite thin & lean' she had to consume hormone pills. Later, her sister Rangoli Chandel went on to clarify that those were just a 'mild dose of estrogen pills'
