Actor Tamannaah Bhatia spoke about her 2015 film Baahubali: The Beginning and how it was a 'game changer'. While speaking at an Indian Express event, she shared that at that time, it made her wonder how to "do something bigger than Baahubali". The actor also spoke about having worked in the Tamil and Telugu film industries for many years.

Tamannaah on working in Tamil, Telugu films

On working in South India, Tamannaah said, “Working with people much older than me, and in a place where I didn’t know the language was one of my biggest learnings. I understood a completely different culture, and I can now speak in both Tamil and Telugu. I had that commercial success, but I was still hungry as an actor. I wanted to perform different and challenging roles. The thing is when an actor is doing commercially well, there was a notion that moving away from it and experimenting with roles was unnecessary. But my funda was hatke… I wanted to do different parts.”

Talking about Baahubali, he said, “It was a game-changer for everyone, and introduced the term pan-Indian film that we all seem to like now. But what it truly did was to broaden my perspective. How do you do something bigger than Baahubali? What should I do next? Do I do something bigger? Or do I reinvent?”
