Rangoli Chandel shared a video of her sister and actor Kangana Ranaut rehearsing for a song from her upcoming film, Thalaivi.


A video of Kangana Ranaut’s dance rehearsals was shared online by Rangoli Chandel.
“For instance, I was so kaccha (raw) during Band Baaja Baraat, I would be doing two shots with Anushka and there would be a boom mike guy standing and I would ask her ‘Who’s this guy?’ She’s like ‘whatever dialogues you say, he’s going to capture that’. I would be like ‘He’s going stand here only?’ I literally started from scratch.”
 “I didn’t know at that time when I was making that choice for Lootera. You operate from a place where you are not comfortable with your craft, a place of insecurity and nervousness and you tend to do a lot more to achieve a certain effect... sometimes to the degree of harming yourself. I wouldn’t do it now as I know that there is more efficient way of doing it. Back then, I am thinking to myself: ‘I have never been shot, now I am going to get shot. So how am I going to depict a real sort of pain on screen?’ Now when I look back on Lootera, I watch the scenes like this (leans back and make an expression of discomfort) because it takes me back to a memory of immense amount of physical pain. It’s all real. But today, having acquired more knowledge and comfort with my craft, I know that there is another way of creating that effect.”
On the work front Ranveer has finished shooting for Kabir Khan’s ambitious ’83, a retelling of India winning the cricket World Cup in 1983 despite being the underdogs. The team went on to register one of the biggest wins in the game when they beat reigning champions West Indies in the World Cup final. Ranveer will be seen playing former cricketer Kapil Dev while Deepika Padukone will be seen playing Kapil’s wife, Romi, in the film.

The teaser of Thalaivi, which will document the journey of Jayalalithaa from “a superstar heroine” to “a revolutionary hero”, dropped online on Saturday. The one-and-a-half-minute video begins with Kangana recreating one of Jayalalithaa’s popular songs and cuts to her waving to a huge crowd at a political rally.




The clip became fodder for memes and jokes on the internet, with many criticizing the heavy prosthetics on Kangana’s face in the teaser. However, Rangoli jumped to her sister’s defense and lashed out at those trolling her. “Anyone who has got eyes can see the brilliance of prosthetic work Baki samosa gang is there jo din ko Raat Aur Raat ko din kehte hain, they are inconsequential,” she wrote.

Earlier, Kangana’s team had revealed in an Instagram post that internationally renowned make-up artists were roped in for Thalaivi. “#KanganaRanaut going through prosthetic measurements at Jason Collins’s Studio in Los Angeles for #Thalaivi. Jason has previously worked for Captain Marvel creating prosthesis for Brie Larson. Needless to say, Jayalalithaa’s Biopic will definitely be something mind-blowing,” they wrote, sharing a picture of the actor in the make-up chair.

Produced by Vishnu Induri and Shailesh R Singh, Thalaivi is slated to release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on June 26, 2020.
