Dear Tamannaah
Watching you metamorphose into to this young confident character called Avantika on screen has indeed been a satisfying moment for someone who has known you since you were in your pigtails!
From Jiya in Chand Sa Roshan Chehra in 2005 [when you were still in school] to S S Rajamouli's Bahubali, a movie that is creating a storm at the box-office all over India and an impact, worldwide, this is just The Beginning of your journey!
I understand you went to the South to cut your teeth, so to speak, and found success there early on. Himmatwala, Humshakals and Entertainment, did not really give you that impact in Bollywood that you were looking for. With Avantika, you seemed to have reignited your Box Office interest in Bollywood. I'm sure serious film-makers here, like Rajamouli in the South, will start looking at you differently. You have worked on the character you were supposed to portray and...

Sajid Khan’s Himmatwala is due to release this Friday and BollySpice got talking with the team during one of their shoots. Tamannaah greets me with a “You look like someone I know!” to which I reply that hopefully that someone is a good friend.” Oh yes she is!” laughs Tamannaah. Relaxing between a grueling dance shoot, Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah get talking about the film, the inevitable comparisons and Sajid!
Of all the 80s masala movies, why did Sajid choose Himmatwala to remake? Says Sajid, “As a kid I was 11 years old when I saw it in 1983 and I saw it 36 times! It was an absolute guilty pleasure. It changed the way Bollywood films were made, bringing in the South Indian wave. Even when I was making my first film – Heyy Babyy – I was thinking should I do this or should I make Himmatwala. I wrote the structure of...

One film old in Bollywood, Tamannaah is already acquiring quite a controversial reputation. Even before she signed on to play Sridevi's role in Sajid Khan's remake of Himmatwala, the actress got into a verbal scuffle with producer Salim who demanded her mound of money as per an agreement that he alleged to have signed with the actress regarding her earnings while launching her in Chand Sa Roshan Chehra.
In a conversation with this writer some time ago, Tamannaah had dismissed all of producer Salim's claims as a regular part of any successful individual's past baggage.
She would find it harder to explain her departure from producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director Sabir Khan's project Heropanti, launching Jackie Shroff's son Tiger. A month ago she was "finalized" for the project.
Now she is no more a part of it. While publicly the entire team is quiet about it,...

It's official. And we got it out of Ajay Devgn's business associate Kumar Mangat. After the unending speculation about who would be taking over Sridevi's role in the remake of the 1983 hit Himmatwala, fuelled in no small measure by the neo-Himmatwala's director Sajid Khan tightlipped silence, it is finally out Telugu and Tamil actress Tamannaah Bhatia would be playing the lead opposite Ajay in Himmatwala. Says Kumar Mangat, "Yes, it's Tamannaah opposite Ajay in Himmatwala. The shooting starts in August. Ajay has Bol Bachchan on release and Son Of Sardar is almost complete. Himmatwala is the only other project he will start this year." Significantly, names like Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma were bandied for the part of the whip wielding firebrand that catapulted Sridevi to stardom in Himmatwala in 1983. Says a source close to the project, "Katrina and Anushka turned down the role. It was...
