"Dear friends today is a very special day, resuming work after 7 months, travelling to southern India for my most ambitious bilingual project THALAIVI, need your blessings in these testing times of a pandemic. P.S. Just clicked these morning selfies hope you all like them," Kangana said in her post.

Earlier on Wednesday, the actor tweeted to express disgust on the news of a 19-year-old girl succumbing to her injuries after being gang-raped in UP’s Hathras. While most part of the country is agitated with how UP CM Yogi Adityanath is running the state, Kangana said that she believes in Yogi’s administration and she’s hopeful for justice. “I have immense faith in @myogiadityanath ji, just how Priyanka Reddy rapists were shot dead on the very spot they raped and burnt her alive we want the same emotional, instinctive and impulsive justice for #HathrasHorror #HathrasHorrorShocksIndia” (sic), she posted.

Thalaivi, based on the life of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, is being directed by AL Vijay. The film is being made in two parts.

Team Thalaivi team spent more than a year in pre-production and collected materials to formulate the screenplay.Meanwhile, Kangana has got around four films in her kitty apart from Thalaivi. She’s working on Tejas in which she plays the role of an Indian Air Force pilot, followed by a film titled Dhaakad which is an out-and-out action entertainer. The actor recently announced a film titled Aparajita Ayodhya which is based on the Babri Masjid demolition incident, apart from her yet-to-be-titled film on the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits.
