Kangana Ranaut is prepping hard for her next flick Thalaivi. The actress made her Kollywood debut with Jayam Ravi’s Dhaam Dhoom, which released in 2008. After more than a decade, the Panga actress is making a comeback in Tamil with Thalaivi, which is based on the life of a former chief minister of Tamil Nadu, J Jayalalithaa.

Going by recent pictures from Thalaivi sets, it seems that the Kangana’s training is paying off. On Sunday, the makers of the film released a new still in which Kangana can be seen recreating a Bharatnatyam pose. Looking at the photo, director AL Vijay and his team seem to be shooting an iconic dance sequence in the film.
