Tamannah, during Paiyya’s press meet, said that she cannot comment on actress Ranjitha, as it is her personal affair. The actress, however, pointed out that all the actresses should not be seen in bad light because of stray incidents like this.
Awaiting the release of Paiyya shortly, Tamannah is indeed excited. She pairs up with Karthi in this film. The actress, who had an opportunity to star with Karthi’s brother Suriya in Ayan, says that both the actors are good co-stars.
Tamannaah the top heroine of Kollywood is yet to make a mark in Tollywood.
Not given to fun and frolic on the sets, she would display true professionalism. Making her debut with Manoj’s film Sree , she soon gained the foothold and proved her mettle in the entire South. She too has moments of lighter vein romance when she was going to school.
Speaking about her first impressions of love, Tamannaah said: “During my schooldays, I started liking a boy, brother of one of my friends. Though I really did not have any necessity, I used to visit my friend’s house to have a look at her brother. I kept talking to him deliberately creating situations. In my heart of hearts, I used to enjoy some inexpressible joy. When I recall those moments now, I start laughing.”
“After schooling, I joined the college and went to the classes for one day. That’s it. After that, busy with films. Most of the time, I am spending in the South. Now, I don’t have an iota of time to think of him. Of course, I don’t cherish the same feeling as it was then,” she said.
Karthi-Tamannaah’s much awaited Tamil urban story Paiyya (also spelt Paiya), directed by Lingusamy under the banner of Thiruppathi Brothers and Cloud Nine, will grace screens on April 2, the makers have confirmed.
Distributed in Tamil Nadu by Dhayanidhi Alagiri, the film has bagged a clean ‘U’ certificate by the censors without any cuts. The makers are planning to remake Paiyya in Telugu (with Ram Charan Teja) and Hindi after the release of the Tamil version.
Shot in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai, Paiyya is about some interesting events happenings in the lives of a pair of lovers. Initially, the film was supposed to hit screens on Pongal day, but got delayed as Karthi’s Aayirathil Oruvan was being released, then the film was postponed to February, and now again to April. There were also rumours that the delay was due to the financial problems of the producers.
Tamannaah has taken to heart the saying ‘Make hay while the sun shines’ because the young actress has signed on every good movie that has come her way! She is walking on a tightrope, insiders say, when it comes to her dates for these many movies! The three biggies on her platter are Sura with Vijay, Thillalangadi with Jayam Ravi and Paiyaa with Karthi. The young actress is certainly riding the high tide with finesse and her acting is not so shabby either - so that’s a win, too!
Tamannaah, as sweet in person as on screen, is quite the professional her colleagues claim. She knows where to draw the line and knows all the diplomatic answers in the book. That’s probably what keeps her off the gossip columns. Ask her how she manages to look so good with every actor she is paired with, and she gladly credits it to the directors and the romantic sequences!
“In all the movies that I have done so far, the romance scenes have been such that they brought out the best in me. They have helped spark the chemistry between the hero and me. And of course, the director plays a big part in explaining the scenes and telling us what he wants and how to get there. So the credit goes to him,” she smiles.
Tamannaah is currently busy with Thillalangadi with Jayam Ravi. The film is the Tamil version of a Telugu film titled Kick. “I admire Ileana (who did the original), but I am sure I can pull it off in my own style,” she asserts.
In an industry where catfights are common, Tamanna is friendly with her female colleagues. “I’m close to Poonam Bajwa, Vedika, Kajal, Priyamani and Ileana. I share notes with them about their work. It keeps me clued about the industry,” she reveals.
Recently, we have reported that Kollywood’s prominent production and distribution house Sun Pictures has acquired the release rights of Ilayathalapathi Vijay’s forthcoming Sura. Directed by S.P. Rajakumar, this is Vijay’s 50th film being made with a budget greater than any of his earlier movies. Tamannaah will be seen opposite Vijay for the first time in Sura. Sources reveal that the actor will don the role of a fisherman in the movie. The shooting is currently progressing in Puducherry. Produced by Sangili Murugan, Sura has musical score by Mani Sharma. Cinematography is by Ekambaram of Kanthaswamy fame.
Meanwhile, there is a buzz in the industry about Vijay’s 51st film. Though there are speculations that Jayam Raja will wield the megaphone, it now looks like Ilayathalapathi has given the green signal for the remake of Malayalam hit Bodyguard starring Dileep and Nayantara. Siddique, who directed the original, will direct the Tamil version also. Bodyguard is based on a plot with plenty of comedy and action.
Remake king Jayam Raja’s next film Thillalangadi is progressing briskly. Thillalangadi is a remake of the super hit Telugu movie Kick. Jayam Ravi and Tamannaah plays the lead roles and Shaam reprises his role from the original.
The brothers, along with heroine Tamannah and father Editor Mohan, who is also producing the movie, met the press recently in Chennai to talk about the 360 degree song in Thillalangad. For the first time in India, the crew has used a Nero motion control camera that revolves around on specially erected 360 degree set to picturise a song sequence. The song was shot by cameraman B. Rajasekhar along with Australian cameraman Scott.
The film will also see Ravi returning to his chocolate boy look after donning an action hero’s look in Peranmai. This is Ravi’s first film after his marriage. Prabhu and Suhasini play pivotal roles. Vadivelu provides comic relief. The music is scored by Yuvanshankar Raja. Produced by Editor Mohan, the film is an out-and-out entertainer with peppy songs.
It is known that VV Vinayak will soon launch a film with Allu Arjun in the lead. The film is titled ’Badrinath’ and is produced by Geetha Arts. The latest buzz about the movie is that Tamanna Bhatia has been roped in as the female lead in the film.
After ’Happy Days’ and ’Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam’, ’Badrinath’ is the first film for the expressive actress. The actress, who is understandably choosy, has been looking for meaty roles and it seems that she has finally got one.
Now Tamanna must be a happy girl, because she has not only got one, but a big one at that. Arjun’s stardom has only grown in strength after Arya2, where as Vinayak proved his mettle with Adhurs too.
So, expect a hit from Tamanna, who is currently doing more of Tamil than Telugu. She might also accept more and more Telugu movies after Badrinath.
