Actress Kangana Ranaut is busy raking praises for her performance in Jayalalithaa biopic 'Thalaivi'. Although Kangana may seem natural with her portrayal, she wasn't the first choice for the part of late actress and politician. Actress Simi Grewal, who recently watched the film, shares her unfiltered opinion on Twitter. She praised Kangana and Arvind Swamy's performances and shared who the original choice for the part was.

Simi wrote, “Altho I do not support #KanganaRanaut’s radical comments..I do support her acting talent. In #Thailavii she gives it her heart & soul! Jaya-ji wanted Aishwarya to play her..my hunch is JJ wud hv approved of Kangana’s portrayal??. As for @thearvindswamy he is MGR reincarnate!!”

Talking further about Arvind's performance, Simi wrote, "You forget he is Arvind Swamy! You believe he REALLY is MGR! But they left out JJ’s childhood..I wish they hadn’t. It would have had a stronger impact in the story of Jayalalithaa.. but that’s only my opinion."
