It is a known fact that director Vijay is making Thalaivi, a biopic on former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha. Kangana Ranaut plays the titular character in this film which features Arvind Swami playing the character of M.G.Ramachandran, more fondly called as ‘Puratchi Thalaivar’ MGR. A few months back, the makers had released Kangana’s character look and a promo teaser and both opened to a mixed opinion. Following that, the team has now released the character look of MGR (today, being his birthday), portrayed by Arvind Swami.
