Bhagyashree to make a comeback in Kangana Ranaut’s Thalaivi

Yesteryear actress Bhagyashree, who won many hearts with her debut with musical romantic film Maine Pyaar Kiya (1989), has announced her comeback. The bubbly actress is said to make a cameo with Kangana Ranaut in biopic film Thalaivi. Based on august politician Jayalalitha (Amma), Bhagyashree is said to play Kangana’s mother, while the latter will be seen in the titular role. A source has revealed, “Bhagyashree will play the character of Jayalalithaa's mother Vedha, who was christened Sapna when she decided to act in movies. Thalaivi's mother has an extremely emotional and important role to play in her life. Not many people know about their bonding and much is not in public domain about who she was and how she was. So this is an episode of her life that the filmmakers are focusing on."

When contacted Bhagyashree, though she kept most of the things under wraps, all she said was, “I can't reveal what my role is right now. But it's a beautiful role and when they approached me for it, I loved it and immediately said yes to it. Kangana is a fantastic actress and I remember her joking about me leaving movies and why I should have never left. She's such a great performer and a person that she adds to her co-star's performance as well. I can't wait to go back to the sets again."

The film shoot was stalled after the Coronavirus outbreak in the country and currently, the team is regularly in touch to figure out a new schedule for the biopic

Bhagyashree will also be seen in Prabhas and Pooja Hegde starrer Radhe Shyam, apart from Thalaivi.
