Kangana Ranaut was recently seen in the role of J Jayalalithaa in the biopic 'Thalaivi'. She is raking praises for her brilliant work in the film as people are appreciating her acting skills as well as the look she carried in the film. To accurately portray different phases of Jayalalithaa's life Kangana had to undergo an extreme physical transformation. Apparently the actress had to gain 20kgs to play elderly Jayalalithaa and then lose that weight within 6 months.

In her recent Instagram post, Kangana talked about the process and also revealed how the transformation has taken a toll on her. Gaining and losing weight in a short interval has left Kangana with permanent stretch marks but she is content with the end result. Sharing two side by side comparisons of her before and after gaining the weight, Kangana wrote, "Gaining 20 kgs in 6 months and loosing it all within 6 months that too in my thirties messed up many things in my body …. I also have permanent stretch marks as well but art comes to life with a price and more often than not price is the artist him/herself #thalaivii."

Kangana is currently working on her upcoming films like 'Tejas' and 'Dhaakad'. In 'Tejas', she'll portray an Air Force Officer while in 'Dhaakad' she'll be seen in an action packed avatar.
