Actor Kangana Ranaut has taken off to Los Angeles, US with the Thalaivi team for a look test.

She returned from Thailand on Tuesday evening after attending an event, and is now on her way to the US where she will be undergoing various look tests with Hollywood make-up artist and prosthetic expert Jason Collins, who has worked on films like Captain Marvel and Blade Runner 2049.

“I am very curious about this process, I don’t know how it will impact my expressions and approach to my character but this is going to be one-of-a-kind experience for me,” said Kangana, who will be playing late politician Jayalalithaa in the film.

A multi-lingual, Thalaivi is scheduled to go on floors after Diwali and its shooting will happen near Mysuru, Karnataka.

The film is being directed by Tamil filmmaker Vijay, and produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri and Shaailesh R.
