Tamannaah insulting take on South films

Tamannaah on Toxic Masculinity.Tamannaah Bhatia, a versatile actress known for her work across Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema, has left her mark alongside industry giants like Rajinikanth and Prabhas. Her journey began in 2005 with her debut role in "Chand Sa Roshan Chehra."

Subsequently, she entered Telugu cinema in the same year with "Sri" and ventured into Tamil cinema the following year with "Kedi." In a recent interview, Tamannaah candidly discussed her experiences in the world of South Indian cinema, particularly addressing the issue of toxic masculinity in certain films.

When questioned about the prevalence of 'toxic masculinity in the south' and whether there were instances where she disagreed with it, Tamannaah expressed her perspective. She acknowledged that certain tried-and-tested formulas are frequently employed in South Indian commercial cinema due to their convenience. However, she emphasized that in certain commercial films, she found it challenging to connect with her characters and would request the filmmakers to tone down the intensity. Over time, she consciously chose not to participate in films where toxic masculinity was excessively glorified to the point of being almost unbearable.

Regarding her Bollywood journey and whether it bothered her that her success in the south didn't always translate to success in Hindi cinema, Tamannaah displayed a pragmatic attitude. She stated that the outcomes of the films she worked on in Bollywood were simply a matter of destiny. She did not take these outcomes as personal failures, recognizing that filmmaking involves the contributions of many individuals. She maintained a detached perspective on both her successes and failures, emphasizing that her passion for acting continues to drive her. After 17 years in the industry, she remains deeply enthusiastic about her craft, waking up each day excited to face the camera and embracing the journey with unwavering dedication.
