Those who follow Kangana Ranaut on Twitter have a fair idea that she doesn’t shy away from putting out her opinion in public. Yesterday, at the trailer launch of her upcoming film Thalaivi, she was asked about why she often criticizes people and gets into arguments with them.

To this, Kangana had the perfect response. Without mincing her words, she said, “Well, I personally feel that a lot of things that I do and say are to have a kind of light-hearted interaction and at times, people take it seriously because they are dead serious in their lives. Hence, things roll into one event to another.”

She went on to add, “Having said that, I might criticize people because I want to express things that have hurt me. It’s easier to interact with people. Otherwise, my intention has always been to have a light-hearted moment but people aren’t very comfortable with those who are clear and honest with their opinions. I get extreme reactions and at times, I do get taken aback.  When you have no agenda in your heart and you aren’t doing anything with any exterior motives, you will always win and there are two ways about it." 

Here’s the video:

Talking about Thalaivi, the movie traces the journey of Jayalalithaa from films to politics. The film also features Arvind Swami as MG Ramachandran, Prakash Raj as M Karunanidhi, Jisshu Sengupta as Sobhan Babu, and Bhagyashree as Jayalalithaa’s mother Sandhya.

At the trailer launch, Kangana also mentioned that Thalaivi was the first film in her career that she was recommended for. “Thalaivi is the main focus of my life right now. This journey would have not been started if Vijayendra sir had not recommended me. For the first time, I got recommended for a role. Usually, I get recommended only to get thrown out of films. So, for the first time, a man recommended me for a film. But I was very much apprehensive about taking on the role. I’m not very familiar with the politics in Tamil Nadu and even the film industry for that matter,” said the Queen actor.

Here’s the trailer:
