Career Graph
Tamannah made her career debut with a Hindi movie called “Chand Sa Roshan Chehra”, which was released in 2005, when she was just 15 years old. The film did not do well and she decided to move down South, where she appeared in Telugu film “Sri” and Tamil film “Kedi”, in 2005 and 2006 respectively. The films did not do well commercially, but brought recognition for her as an actress. She established herself in the South Indian industry with the successful movies “Happy Days” and “Kalloori”. Tamannaah went on to work in a large number of movies and received great appreciation for many of them, such as “Kalidasu”, “Ready”, “Padikkadavan”, “Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam”, “Ayan” and “Paiyaa”. She received huge acclaim for her excellent performance in a movie called “Kanden Kadhalai”, which was the remake of the hit Hindi movie “Jab We Met”. Her 2011 Telugu movie “100% Love” became the top grosser of the year and also earned her several awards and nominations. She made a comeback to the Hindi film industry in 2013, with “Himmatwala” which paired her opposite Ajay Devgan, but the film was a total disaster. However, Tamannaah did not give up hope and came back again with Akshay Kumar starrer “It’s Entertainment”, which was an average hit. Another Hindi flop came her way with the multi starrer film “Humshakals”. Tamannaah may not have got the desired success in Bollywood but she is a shining star down south.
