Speaking at the launch ceremony, Kangana said she feels blessed to have been part of this film, playing the role of the woman who has been an inspiration to many out there.
"He never made me feel bad or apologetic about my talent. It's very rare for a director to share such a respectful camaraderie with female actors," she said as tears welled up in her eyes.
Actor Arvind Swami, who essays the role of MGR in Thalaivi, said portraying the late film icon and Tamil Nadu chief minister was a responsibility.
"I'm playing the role of a man who I cherished watching on screen since I was a kid. So it was more of a responsibility and not a job," he said.
