While most stars are seemingly concerned about the length of their role in a film, Baahubali actor Tamannaah Bhatia has her own parameters for choosing a project, and giving her nod to a character. When approached for a film, it isn\u2019t the screen time that is on her mind, but the script, and overall appeal of the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the entire film that has to interest me and not just the character that I am offered. After all, the audience will eventually watch the film, and if they like it, only then will they like a particular character. It should be able to engage the audience for its entire length,\u201d says Tamannaah, who burst onto the scene at the age of 15 in Chand Sa Roshan Chehra (2005), and enjoys massive recognition in Telugu and Tamil cinema.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old reveals that there have been times when she accepted films out of reasons other than this. \u201cOut of sheer respect for the people I\u2009look up to in the industry, I do say \u2018yes\u2019 to projects, at times. It helps me learn a lot. Also, if I\u2009am playing a small role in a good, content-driven film, I\u2009say yes to it. But there have been times when I said \u2018no\u2019 to films because I\u2009was not convinced with the content,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n
The Entertainment and Humshakals (2014) actor vouches for the connection and impression that content-rich films can establish with a wide variety of audiences. \u201cSo many different kinds of movies in various languages are being made. So much is also happening online and in television. So, the story is of prime importance to me, and I feel inclined towards the realistic space,\u201d says Tamannaah, who plays the lead in the Telugu remake of the 2014 hit film Queen, which featured Kangana Ranaut.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a time when the industry is increasingly coming up with films fronted by women Veere Di Wedding, with an all-female star cast, Meghna Gulzar-directed Raazi, starring Alia Bhatt, Padmaavat, with Deepika Padukone in the lead, Lipstick Under My Burkha (2016), the Kahaani franchise, to name a few. But Tamannaah says that the amount of screen time actors get in a project depends on their saleability, which, she feels, is fair.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s part of the business. Film is not just about the art form but also how it fares at the box office. When it comes to a character, I make sure that it adds to the plot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
