`I want to do good films`: Tamanna

She is perhaps the youngest heroine in Tamil cinema. Tamanna had made her debut with KD and proved her mettle. The film bombed, but the young lady was optimistic and waited for the right breaks. Soon she was signed by none other than Balaji Sakthivel who had made that pathbreaking film Kathal. In fact, today Tammana is considered as the most promising star of Kollywood.
Today your Kaloori is releasing. Are you tensed?

Yes. I have butterflies in my stomach. So far God has been very kind to me. I am grateful to Balaji Sakthivel sir for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. I needed a film like Kaloori and am really glad it happened.
How was it working with Balaji Sakthivel?
He is an amazing director who is cool and confident. He acts out every scene and knows exactly what he wants from every artist. So this made things easy for all of us. We shot the entire film in 50 days. There was no tension on the sets as everything was planned and executed so meticulously. He is the sweetest person that I have met so far.
What is the character you play in Kaloori?
I play Shobana a city girl who comes to this small town. She is a soft, simple, balanced person who knows how to handle situations. The film is all about friendship and relationships shot in a realistic manner. I have not used any make-up and my look is very raw. And to get the right look, we took great care to tie up my hair tight and whenever I used to put a little bit of pressed powder, Chezhian sir, the cameraman used to ask me to wash my face before the shot.
Your hero is a new face. Please comment?
Akhil is a newcomer and believe me; we haven’t spoken much as language was a barrier. He is a very nice person and in the film he had to sit behind me on the scooty and he was very scared. I used to tell him not to worry and I will not let him fall (laughs).
So, what are your future plans?
I want to do good films. So far I have been blessed and I had a chance to meet some good people in both Tamil and Telugu industry. I have signed a film with Surya for `AVM productions` directed by K.V.Anand sir. I am also doing a film for `Oscar Films` with newcomer Siddharth as hero and directed by Gandhi Krishna sir. In Telugu, I have a film with Allu Arjun prodced by Allu Aravind and another one for producer M.S.Raju. Right now, I am keeping my fingers crossed for Kaloori results (smiles).
