Kangana Ranaut, who will next be seen in a bilingual film titled Jaya, which is based on the life of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and yesteryear actress Jayalalithaa, said that she always wanted to work in regional films. 

Kangana was interacting with the media on her 32nd birthday when she announced that she was all set to step into the shoes of the late Jayalalithaa, who was fondly referred to as Puratchi Thalaivi, which means "revolutionary leader".
