"Chali Chali", the first song of Kangana Ranaut's much anticipated project Thalaivi is out. Sung by Saindhavi Prakash and composed by G V Prakash Kumar, the song retells the story of J Jayalalithaa's story as an actress. In the song, Kangana is seen in three different avatars inspired by the legendary actress-politician.
