Mumbai, Tamannah Bhatia has become a household name in Bollywood today. The actress made her debut in South cinema with the Telugu film Shree (2005) and the Tamil film KD (2006) when she was just 16 years old. At that time cinema was new to him, language was new to him, people were new to him.
However, he survived in the industry for 19 years and has done around 85 films today. Tamannaah is a household name in South India. A few days ago, ahead of the release of her new film Sikandar Ka Mukaddar, Tamannaah joined her co-stars Avinash Tiwari and Jimmy Shergill for the second edition of Screen Live.
Talking about the initial struggle to make a place in the new industry and how Baahubali was a game-changer in more ways than one, Tamannaah says, 'Working with people much older than me and in a place where I worked. I don't know that language was my biggest learning. I understand a different culture and now I can speak both Tamil and Telugu.
The real struggle started when I got success as a commercial heroine with back-to-back blockbusters in both Tamil and Telugu. “I had that commercial success, but I still wanted to act.
I wanted to do different and challenging roles. The thing is that when an actor is doing well commercially, there was a perception that it was not necessary to go beyond that and experiment with acting but my funda was shaking, I had to do something further.'The actress is at this stage of her career that Baahubali happened and changed a lot. That film was a game changer for everyone, and introduced the term pan-Indian film that we all love now.
But what it really did was broaden my perspective, what film could be bigger than Baahubali? What should I do next? Do I do something big?' He used to have many questions like.'SS1MS
