Tamannaah on keeping herself away from Bollywood

Tamannaah Bhatia is one of the most sought-after actresses in the South Indian film industries. Many people know her for her terrific performance in Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017), but she has scores of successful Tamil and Telugu films to her credit.

Tamannaah has tried her luck in Bollywood also, but here she could not replicate the success of South cinema. In her latest interview with a newswire, the actress reveals that she is not more active in Hindi films because she pursue versatility in her work by doing films in different languages.


"I have been making a conscious effort of multitasking between genres within the South Indian film industry. I have been away from Bollywood actively to ensure there is more versatility in my creative kitty and to ensure I am not stereotyped into any particular genre. Versatility is the key to survival. I have always been passionate about cinema and I never wanted to limit myself to any one industry. There a lot of misconceptions about me, to be honest," she tells the newswire.

"The most bizarre piece of news I read recently was that I am out of employment! There are other stories of me not having a bright future in Bollywood, versus Tollywood. Just to clear the air, I'm working 365 days a year and hence I can't shuffle between multiple industries. I'm not part of the rat race and I don't want to prove a point to anyone. I want to make my mark on my own terms. For me it was only about acting, and not about the industry," Tamannaah says in conclusion.

In Bollywood, Tamannaah Bhatia will next be seen in the upcoming film Bole Chudiyan, co-starring National Film Award-winning actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
