Believe it or not, ‘national crush’ Tamannaah Bhatia has been cast in an intense emotional lead role defying otherwise her hot-glam sexy image. This is in her latest Southside regional (Rs 100 Crores-plus) blockbuster horror-comedy-movie ‘Aranmanai 4’. (means ‘Palace’) Which is now beautifully dubbed in Hindi! The enthralling movie which has spectacular action and spine-tingling visuals is directed by Southside showman and macho debonair actor Sundar C — who hold-your-breath is Bollywood and Southside iconic star actress-producer-politician Khushbu’s husband. As a pleasant surprise for audiences, Khushbu has put in an energetic vibes cameo with Simran in the ‘Amman’ climax song.

Not many may be aware, that Khushbu will stage a bang-comeback to Bollywood in Anil (‘Gadar-2) Sharma’s upcoming Hindi movie ‘Journey’, with Nana Patekar as her co-star!

For me personally after over three decades, it was a heart-warming re-connect with modest actress-producer Khushbu, (real name Nakhat). Whom I had personally interviewed for a leading Mumbai tabloid, way back in the ‘80s. A smart-witted, talented, charming, child-artiste, I had met her exclusively, when her movie ‘Dard Ka Rishta’ (Sunil Dutt production) had released.

The outspoken tantalizing Tamannaah said, “Am thrilled and grateful to Sundar-Sir for having the confidence that I would be able to do justice to my multi-layered character. In real life, I am treated like a ‘baby’ and pampered by my own family. Never had I imagined in ‘Aranmanai-04’, that I could play this young yet mature mother’s emotionally challenging role– who is ready to do anything to protect her child. Frankly, I also took inspiration from my own mother. My loyal Hindi fans and Hindi audiences will also love to watch me execute breath-taking risky action scenes in this gripping horror-comedy. In 2019, I worked with Sundar-Sir in a Tamil thriller hit movie titled ‘Action’. Must say that Sundar-Sir is one of the top three directors in our country. With a good knowledge of technology, emotions, and commerce and a proven hit-list track record he staunchly believes in woman empowerment and brought out the best in me. What I also like about him is that he truly empowers and uplifts women around him. I have seen him with his daughters and his super-talented producer-star-actress wife Khushbu who has been his rock-solid support all thru. The unassuming Sundar-Sir has a perfect family and those emotions reflect in his cinema too,” enthused the modest stunning glam-actress Tamannaah who has been appreciated in South Indian regional movies and is today an iconic star-heroine in Bollywood as well.
