Known for her work in Bollywood films like Himmatwala, Humshakals and It’s Entertainment, pretty faced girl Tamannaah Bhatiamay still be awaiting her big Bollywood break, but that doesn’t affect her rising stardom down South. The actress spoke to Indian Express about her role as a warrior princess in SS Rajamouli’s forthcoming period film, Baahubali and her Bollywood dreams.
“When I had been approached for Baahubali, the film had already been shot for a year,” said Tamannaah.
When asked if she was taking a gamble investing so much time in one mega project, the actress replied, “I wouldn’t say it was a risk at all because for people who follow SS Rajamouli’s work will know that he makes the most likable films and they are relate-able to everybody. Most of the times, his films don’t require a language because they are universal in content. It was a new experience, because nobody has ever attempted to make a war film in India before. But, Rajamouli had spent one year doing pre-production from the weapons, the armour and the set – everything was pre-designed. It took them a year to sketch it, prepare it and execute it.”
