During a press conference for 'Thalaivii', Kangana Ranaut was asked if this movie would help her in any way in entering politics.
Actress Kangana Ranaut took the stage and grabbed all attention during the press conference for her upcoming movie ‘Thalaivii' in the capital on Thursday (September 9). 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, 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.
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 talk about issues related to the country, so people think I talk about political issues. Maybe it’s the same thing, but not for me, because I am not a politician. I talk as a responsible citizen, and a person who has been elevated to celebrity status by the people. So I talk about the rights of the people and the country.”
“Whether I can become a politician or not, that’s not in my hands. You cannot even have a panchayat election without the support of people. If have to join politics, it will have to be because the people want me to, or if I have that caliber. For now, I think I am good as an actress, and I’m happy with that. But in the future, if people choose me, elect me, I would definitely love to,” Kangana added.
Ahead of the release of ‘Thalaivii', Kangana Ranaut met several politicians on Thursday for a special screening of the film for prominent ministers in Delhi. Taking to her Instagram handle, Kangana shared a picture in which she can be seen posing with Union Minister Smriti Irani. "With real life #Thalaivii @smritiiraniofficial," she captioned the photo.
The screening was also attended by other members of parliament including Iranna Kadadi, Sandhya Ray, Arvind Sharma and Ashok Bajpai.
'Thalaivii' stars Kangana Ranaut as Jayalalithaa and Arvind Swami as M.G. Ramachandran. Shot simultaneously in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, it is directed by A.L. Vijay and is written by K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, Madhan Karky (Tamil), and Rajat Arora (Hindi).
