Veteran actress Simi Garewal recently graced a special screening of Thalaivii hosted by Kangana Ranaut. After watching the film, she took to her Twitter handle to express her view about the film. She also revealed that Jayalalithaa wanted Aishwarya Rai to play her in her biopic.

 

"Altho I do not support #KanganaRanaut's radical comments..I do support her acting talent. In #Thailavii she gives it her heart & soul! Jaya-ji wanted Aishwarya to play her..my hunch is JJ wud hv approved of Kangana's portrayal????. As for @thearvindswamy he is MGR reincarnate!!," Simi Garewal tweeted.

 

 

"You forget he is Arvind Swamy! You believe he REALLY is MGR! But they left out JJ's childhood..I wish they hadn't. It would have had a stronger impact in the story of Jayalalithaa.. but that's only my opinion," she added.

 

Thalaivii also stars Madhoo, Prakash Raj, Jisshu Sengupta, Bhagyashree, and Poorna in key roles. The film directed by A L Vijay was released in theatres on September 10 and has been garnering largely positive reviews.
