Indian star Tamannaah Bhatia is a rarity in that she has projects across global streamers Disney Plus Hotstar, Netflix and Amazon. On top of that, she is a top box office draw in the Telugu and Tamil-language film industries.
Bhatia was one of the leads, playing a warrior princess, in S.S. Rajamouli’s “Baahubali” films. They released in 2015 and 2017 and collected $330 million, making them among the highest grossing Indian films of all time. The films also travelled widely, including to the Busan Film Festival, where both parts screened to much audience adulation.
The “Baahubali” films happened at a time when Bhatia had, in her words, appeared in several Hindi-language films that were “disappointing as an experience.”
“It was amazing to see such a unanimous appeal to a film – I never imagined that was ever even possible. So much so that I hear the same applause even now,” Bhatia told Variety.
