'Thalaivi' teaser: Kangana Ranaut looks awe-inspiring in her look as Jayalalithaa

<p>Busy with back-to-back projects, Kangana Ranaut has opted out of Anurag Basu’s ‘Imali’ that she was supposed to start work on in November 2018.</p>

<p>The film was said to star Kangana with her previous co-star Rajkummar Rao and would have marked her third-time collaboration with the director after ‘Gangster’ and ‘Life in a Metro’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking on why ‘Imali’ had to be dropped, Kangana said, “Last year, when I announced Panga and Imali together, Anurag Basu’s film was supposed to go on floors in November 2018. But I had to direct and reshoot Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. So, I had to push Imali. I was also meaning to be a director for a while, so I couldn’t have said no to this. Meanwhile, Panga had already started and I couldn’t not do that.”</p>

<p>She currently has ‘Mental Hai Kya’, ‘Panga’ and the recently announced ‘Jayalalithaa biopic’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On letting the film go she said, “Anurag and I have spoken about it. I feel extremely bad because ‘Imali’ was giving me an opportunity to work with my mentor again, but I’m on the verge of announcing my own film in a few weeks from now. That has taken a lot of my time and I have conveyed it to Anurag, who understood my situation.”</p>

<p>She continued, &nbsp;“We will work together at some point. Imali is a beautiful love story and we can do that later. But right now, my focus is on my next directorial venture because I’ve just delivered a Rs 100-crore film and it’s the right time for me.”</p>
