Exlusive Interview With Tamannaah Bhatia for Her Film Khamoshi

Posted On: 28 May 2019

A little over a decade ago, she made a rather quiet debut with Sri (Telugu) and Kedi (Tamil). However, in 2007, the confidence with which she portrayed the role of a headstrong college girl in Sekhar Kammula’s breakthrough Tollywood film, Happy Days, earned her a spot in the Southern cinegoer’s heart. The then fresh face, who was still in her teens, wooed the silver screen and received many debut awards for the year. The tinsel town stood up and took notice of her — Tamannaah Bhatia had arrived and she was here to stay. Even after 13 years, the queen of commercial films down South isn’t ready to stop, and is unabashed about the choices she made through her career and the ones she is making now! “When I started off, there was only so much a girl could do in most films. Those were the films that were mostly being made. But things are changing and I’m lucky to be a part of the industry at this time,” says Tamannaah with pride. Inching out of her comfort zone, Tammy, as her fans call her is experimenting with genres — romance comedy, thriller and period drama — all in the coming year. Not just that, she is also working with a varied set of directors — Surender Reddy, AL Vijay and Indo-American Chakri Toleti — and making fashion statements along the way.
