Tollywood daddies want Tamannaah too

Tamannaah's Bollywood outing may not have gone as well as she had hoped, but the actress is still hot property here in T-town. A Ram Charan or Naga Chaitanya wanting to pair up with a hit heroine like her isn't surprising. But what's funny is their daddies too want to share screenspace with the pretty woman! In an interesting pattern observed, the older Tollywood lot have been openly expressing their desire to work with the young actress. Tamannaah, who has teamed up with almost all the top heroes amongst the current crop - Pawan Kalyan, NTR, Ram Charan, Prabhas and Allu Arjun among others - has become the top choice for the 'seniors' too.

Not too long ago, Chiranjeevi, during the audio launch of the Ram Charan-starrer Racha said he would like to work with the actress and wants to cast her opposite him in his (ever elusive) 150th film. "After watching Tamannaah's glam performance in Racha, I was toying with the idea of roping her in as the leading lady for my 150th film. In fact, when someone was asking about my 150th film, I was enquiring whether Tamannaah will agree to be paired opposite me or not. Also, I was pondering about how it looks if I share screen space with Tamannaah, who worked with Charan!" quipped Chiranjeevi.

And the Akkineni clan wasn't far behind either! During the recent audio launch of Naga Chaitanya's Tadakha, papa Nagarjuna was quite impressed with Tamannaah's glam quotient too. "Whenever I meet Tamannaah, I always tell her, 'You look so beautiful'. And I hope some day, we both can do a film together," he said in jest.

Even Akkineni Nageswara Rao couldn't help but add a line about how he thought about working with Tamannaah as well. And he even quipped that he was jealous that his grandson (Naga Chaitanya) grabbed the chance first! "After watching Tamannaah, my heart says that I'm just 25! In fact, I'm ready to wear a wig and act with her. I'm really wondering why I couldn't get a chance to act opposite her," he joked.

I have more women fans than men: Tamannaah

Tamannaah, 23, did her first film as leading lady at the age of 14. She is a Sindhi girl who is born and brought up in Mumbai and has done 25 films, including her recent film Himmatwala. She has learnt to speak Telugu and Tamil with as much ease as she speaks Hindi. She may have a temple named after her in Tamil Nadu, but she doesn't take stardom seriously as she knows nothing lasts forever. She lives in the moment and prides herself in being a home bird. She talks to Chennai Times about her favourite co-star Suriya, why she has more female fans than men and how the Sajid Khan humour rubbed itself on her. Excerpts:

At the age of 23, you have completed 25 films. You must have started early, right?
I always wanted to become an actress. As a child, I would stand in front of the mirror and get in to my mother's clothes, consume all her makeup and always watch Hindi films. I would dance at my annual days, but got rejected during my acting auditions in school. When I was in class VIII, I got a chance to act as the leading lady in my first Bollywood film Chand Sa Roshan Chehra. Surprisingly,my class IV teacher at Maneckji Cooper had recommended me for this role. My parents saw the potential in me and were extremely supportive. I started shooting when I was 14, but it was fine as I looked mature for my age then. The film was released while I was giving my tenth boards. At 15, I was a part of the Fair & Lovely campaign when I got spotted in the South and started doing films there. While my initial films did not do well, I got noticed with my fourth Telugu film Happy Days.

Were your parents concerned about your being so young when you started?
This is the only profession where your parents can accompany you at any age. My mom always travelled with me and took complete responsibility about my not feeling low or homesick throughout. What I appreciate most about them is that they noticed what I was good at and supported it, even though it took a lot of sacrifice from them to stay away from each other.

In the South, there is this whole obsession with the male actor? Does that bother you?
Only a heroine can do a heroine's job. So, the whole idea that her role is small does not matter. Her value does not come from the fact that she may have four scenes, but from the fact that people want to see her even after the four scenes. Also, being an actress is quite challenging as within the little time she gets in a commercial film, she needs to make a mark.

Do you have friends in the industry?
Dhanush, Illeana and Ram Charan are my good friends. I get along with Ram Charan's family and hang out with them a lot. Illeana and I did our first Tamil film together and I'm proud of her work. I reach out to Dhanush and Illeana if I want advice. Also, Jayam Ravi who I know because of his wife Aarthi, are supportive of me.

Is there a difference between Tamil and Telugu films?
Unlike a Telugu film, that is always entertaining, a Tamil film can also be offbeat and raw as there is an audience for it in addition to commercial cinema. Telugu cinema, in contrast, is always a fairy tale and needs to have a happy ending; otherwise it doesn't work.

What have been your learnings being in the industry?
You have to let go in the sense you can't run after something and get it. You have to let destiny happen to you. It's important to have the himmat to not fear losing. Hard work is cliched and understood and everyone works hard as every thing around us is so competitive. I am very inspired by Kung Fu Panda and feel you have to just believe in yourself. There is no magic. It's all inside you. I never go into my past or future and always live in the present. Life is unpredictable and we are all fragile.

You have not been linked to anyone in your film career. Have you fallen in love with any of your co-stars?
I have not fallen in anything as strong as love. Love is a big term and I would use it carefully. Being attracted is different from being in love. Also, you can't be in love with an actor; you need to be in love with a person. In my earlier films, people who I worked with were much older to me. It's only now that I have started working with people my age.

You did only one film with Suriya. Why have you not worked again with him?
I don't think he repeats his heroines. I have learnt a lot from him and he has always encouraged me. He is respected, is versatile and is seldom repetitive.

Is it true that you have more women fans than men?
Yes, I have more women fans than men and I find it flattering. I understand what can turn a woman off when she walks into a theatre. I think women are comfortable to come and watch my movies, as I have always been a part of clean films and they feel I would not do something on screen which they would feel uncomfortable watching with their families. I have not kissed on screen ever and even when I wear revealing clothes, I ensure it looks aesthetic.

What has been your experience working with Sajid Khan in Himmatwala?
Sajid never saw any work of mine, but he had serious conviction after he met me just for 15 minutes and made up his mind. He has influenced me a lot and my sense of humour has become better because of him. He is sincere, but not serious. He knows his job and will have a lot of fun while working. I have learnt planning from him and he teaches you to come prepared with what you want to do on the set. When he signed the film with me, he told me that he would launch Himmatwala on March 29 and he did. It's never happened to me earlier in my career. That shows his level of planning.

Any Bollywood movies for you after Himmatwala?
I'm doing Ramesh Taurani's film with Akshay Kumar, with which the writers of Himmatwala, Sajid-Farhad, are debuting as directors. South is what gave me what I am today and so, I'm also doing two Telugu and one Tamil film. For me, Hyderabad and Chennai feel like home just as Mumbai.

100% Love - Romance between Naga & Tamannaah

It was said that Naga Chaitanya breathes life and charm into a flamboyant role, which connects the youngsters. Tamanna is very impressive as well and it seems that the movie carries a candy floss romance. A little birdie says that the music background score is mellifluous and symphonic thereby accentuating the romantic feel of the the movie. And the super music by Devi Sri Prasad adds to the mood of the peppy romance.

Sources say that 100% Love movie story goes like this - Balu (Naga Chaitanya) is a brilliant student in the college and tagged as college topper. Maha Lakshmi (Tamanna) is his Maradalu who comes from a village; joins her Bava Balu's college but she's a weak student. The sequences between Balu and Maha Lakshmi have been pictured fabulously. Amidst these comedy of errors, one day Maha Lakshmi comes college first and stuns everyone. The cat and mouse tussle then starts between Bava and Maradalu but Maha lakshmi loves her Bava who turns a blind eye saying that its only infatuation. However, Balu eventually Balu realizes that its not infatuation but its love.

There are several Love stories thronging celluloid relentlessly but none of them are making any impact. However, reports say that director Sukumar manages to make 100% Love Telugu movie a truly refreshing script. He has established Naga Chaitanya as a true romantic hero and has stamped his authority on on a wonderful depicted romantic anecdote. Sources say that the movie is touching and engaging and it can be ascribed to director Sukumar's brilliant screenplay as he weaved magic on the screen with some wonderful romantic scenes, poignant moments, beautiful frames, and genuine performances. There are reports that Sukumar has retained the fragrance and touch of class by narrating 100% Love movie in a matured manner. With no bled-shed and violence, it seems that 100% Love movie comes in a as a breathe of fresh air.

It seems that for all those Bava and Maradallu who enjoy the cat and mouse game would savor the taste and fragrance of Sukumar's depiction of 100% Love movie. Sukuamr's thirst for visual beauty, getting best performances from Naga Chaitanya and Tamanna, sense for simplicity and realistic approach strikes the chord. What's absorbing it seems was the interactions between Naga Chaitanya and Tamanna, their confusions and emotional chasm.

Like mentioned earlier, 100% Love movie review could be a crucial factor to decide the fate of the movie's stint. After Ye Maaya Chesave, Naga Chaitanya would be seen in a romantic entertainer and it is presumed that the movie has honest and realistic screenplay. 100% Love review will determine the rating and collections and it has become a natural phenomenon.
