A glow with the success of Kanden Kadhalai — the Tamil remake of Jab We Met, pretty Tamanna Bhatia is all set to romance Ttown and Allu Arjun in a big ticket flick. “It’s made by the same production company that has churned out hits like Magadheera, Ghajini and Jalsa. I’m looking forward to acting with Bunny,” she says with relish. “He’s such a brilliant dancer. It should be fun working with him,” she says.
Tamanna, the current toast of Kollywood, had a lukewarm T-town outing in 2009, when neither Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam with Siddharth nor the bilingual Veedokkade (with Suriya) hit BO gold. While Veedokkade’s Tamil original was a blockbuster, did the lukewarm response to the dubbed film dent her confidence? Tamanna stumps us with her fluent Telugu and says that henceforth she’s “going to dub for all my Telugu movies”.
After the rave reviews she received for Kanden... where she reprised Kareena’s role, does she have any Bollywood dreams? “Right now I am concentrating only on Tamil and Telugu films,” she insists.
As far as the remake of Jab We Met is concerned, Tamanna confesses she “felt pressurised, as comparisons were inevitable. And I’m glad I could pull it off. I think it is because we did not deviate much from the original,” she quips. But she’s also quick to point out that “it took Kareena eight years in the industry to deliver such a performance”, while Tamanna is “relatively new.”
