Actress Kangana Ranaut is beyond elated after the success of her recently released film 'Thalaivi'. She played the role of former actress and politician Jayalalithaa and her performance has been praised and appreciated by one and all. Kangana believes that she is more popular now than ever which is quite true. "I don't borrow someone's else's light. So, you know, that is a good place to be in. Definitely, I am much more popular now than I have ever been. It is true that right now is the best time of my career. I won't deny that," said Kangana in a recent conversation with a news outlet.

Kangana then went on to talk about how 'Thalaivi' surpassed all odds to become an acclaimed film. She said, "The film was pitted against a lot of international content. We always made a film that was a quintessential underdog story but we never thought it would be pitted against 'Squid Game' and these very popular series which had a huge anticipation. All these things have made us feel that eventually even on streaming people who watch high end content and are used to international content essentially they also love the film. It is very reassuring."

Appreciating her co-stars, Kangana said, "To be honest Raja Arjun sir's performance is my favourite performance in the film. He's so good. He brought a lot of empathy and sensitivity to a negative character. So every actor was so good. Even Arvind Swamy sir brought a lot of emotional content and gripping narrative to the film."
