Tamannah Bhatia on rapidly changing star culture in India

By: Mohnish Singh

Tamannaah Bhatia, who began her acting career in 2005, has adorned her resume with a series of successful films and that too in various popular Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. Some of her most notable works include Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), Dharma Durai (2016), Oopiri (2016), Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017), and Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019).


After springing surprises every now and then with her unrivalled acting prowess, Bhatia stepped into the digital world in 2021 with the streaming show 11th Hour and can be currently seen in November Story. For her performance in the recently released November Story, the actress has received praises from various corners.

Talking to a newswire, Tamannaah Bhatia shares how the growth and popularity of streaming media platforms is changing the star culture in India. She also adds that she does not feel the need to choose one medium over the other.

“There is nothing to choose from because, at least in my case, I get to have both. I just feel that the fan following one could have amassed, say, 10 years ago will be tricky for the generation today, because with the situation we are in, owing to the pandemic, emotions around films are different. The way cinema is viewed is going to be different,” she says.

“So, the whole idea of a star itself is changing very rapidly, and people are watching content and liking content for the content and not just for an individual actor or individual talent,” she adds.

In conclusion, Bhatia says, “I think the idea of stardom I saw 10 years ago was probably the most organic way of developing a loyal fan following, which I have been fortunate to experience.”

On the work front, Tamannaah Bhatia has several interesting projects in the pipeline, including Gurthunda Seethakalam, Seetimaarr, and the Telugu remake of the Bollywood film Andhadhun (2018).

Ibrahim Ali Khan’s fiery DM to Pakistani critic over ‘Nadaaniyan’ sparks social media uproar

Ibrahim Ali Khan has found himself at the centre of an online storm following his message to Pakistani film critic Tamur Iqbal. The critic had shared his blunt review of Ibrahim’s debut film Nadaaniyan, mocking not only the film but also taking a personal swipe at Ibrahim’s appearance. What followed was an angry message from the young actor that has since gone viral.

Tamur Iqbal had posted a story on Instagram, criticising Nadaaniyan for its performances and taking a dig at Ibrahim’s “huge nose.” While harsh reviews are common in the world of cinema, Ibrahim’s alleged reaction caught many by surprise. In a screenshot Tamur later shared publicly, Ibrahim appears to lash out, calling the critic “an ugly piece of trash” and threatening to “leave you uglier” if they crossed paths in person.

Millie Bobby Brown and the rise of cinema’s first ‘stream queen’ with 'The Electric State'

At just 21 years old, Millie Bobby Brown has already secured her place as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. The star of Stranger Things, who first captivated audiences with her portrayal of Eleven, now finds herself at the forefront of Netflix’s most high-profile projects. However, her latest role in The Electric State, a mindbogglingly expensive Netflix sci-fi film, has sparked mixed reactions and raised questions about her trajectory as a ‘Stream Queen’ – a title that comes with both acclaim and criticism.

The Electric State, in which Brown stars alongside Chris Pratt, has not been warmly received by critics. Described by The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey as “punishingly obvious and completely incoherent,” the film’s one-star reviews have been echoed by many others. The movie, which centres around two hollow characters moving aimlessly through a barren plot, seems to be yet another forgettable venture in Brown’s recent streak of Netflix productions.
