Says actress Tamannaah Bhatia who is on a success ride with ‘Racha’ and a Bollywood debut opposite Ajay Devgn. Her new film ‘Endhukante Premanta’ releases today Having shifted her base from Chennai to Hyderabad last year, actress Tamannaah Bhatia is going through the golden period of her career in Tollywood. With big projects in her kitty, the Mumbai based beauty who shot to overnight fame as Madhu in ‘Happy Days’ has had many more successes to follow. A small chit-chat with the actress on her new film ‘Endhukante Premanta’ (EP) in which she shares screen space with Ram.
- About her character and the film: I play the role of Shravanthi, an Indian girl based in Paris. She is a girl who is very protective about herself. It is love story with a twist in the tale. I can bet on the fact that it is not the regular stuff that we associate with. It is a suspense drama with Karunakaran’s screenplay stamp all over it. To what extent a guy can go for a girl is ‘Endhukante Premanta’?
- ‘Ready’ Ram to ‘EP’ Ram: I had very little interaction with Ram on the sets of ‘Ready’ since my role was brief, besides my shooting was only for one day. I found out on the sets of ‘EP’ that he’s multitalented, juggles between different things on the sets. He is an energy powerhouse and a spontaneous actor.
- Fun in Swiss: Shooting in Switzerland was the most memorable in many ways. It was more of a holiday than shooting. We ate a lot and I gained a few extra kilos too (laughs).
- Matching steps to Ram: I initially shied away from dancing with Ram in the film since he is brilliant, but had to shoot eventually since songs required me. He was at his best and the promos are a testimony to it. He’s one of the graceful dancers in the industry.
- Balancing performance with glamour: It is my constant endeavour to do so on a regular basis. I can’t say I’m completely cautious, but I am here to do diverse roles and I’m not worried about what I’ve lost in the process. ‘What I got and what I do with it matters the most’. After a commercial film like ‘Racha’, ‘EP’ is a perfect foil that had a lot of scope for performance.
- That actors with whom she shares screen space end up tying the knot in real life: In an interview I was trying to pull Charan’s leg when I said that the actors with whom I’ve worked tied the knot immediately. I don’t think Ram is anyway nearer to the concept of marriage. Guess he will take more time as far as I know it.
- B-town debut and upcoming Telugu projects: I’m doing ‘Himmatwala’ alongside Ajay Devgn, but I can’t say that I’m stepping into the shoes of Sridevi. I will be going with the vision of my director Sajid Khan. It is a big project opposite a big hero and I’m elated to be a part of it. Coming to Telugu films, ‘Rebel’ with Prabhas is in the closing stages and I will start shooting for ‘Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu’ opposite Pawan Kalyan from mid-June. -Nagaraj Goud, Source: The Hans India,
