\"Tamannaah<\/p>\n

Tamannaah Bhatia just had a release with Do You Wanna Partner, co-starring Diana Penty. <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

A bankable name for filmmakers across Bollywood and south film industries today, Tamannaah Bhatia turned heads with her glamorous avatars opposite male stars and sizzling dance numbers in a bunch of big-ticket films. At the same time, she has headlined female-led stories such as Babli Bouncer, Aakhri Sach, Odela 2 and Aranmanai 4. In fact, Aranmanai 4 co-starring Raashii Khanna, garnered Rs 100 crore, a significant milestone, especially for a female-led film from the Tamil film industry. <\/p>\n

But instances like this are rare. Tamannaah, however, doesn\u2019t want to blame filmmakers for not pumping money into female-led commercial films. \u201cI don\u2019t hold it personally against them. Filmmaking is a very expensive art form and it\u2019s a calculated gamble where the risks are very high. People who truly embody that energy of championing women for real are the only ones who\u2019ve been successful in making that kind of cinema,” she tells us. <\/p>\n

The actor, who just had a release with Do You Wanna Partner, co-starring Diana Penty, adds, \u201cSo, it\u2019s actually a good thing that those people are only making and backing such films. Less or more is a secondary point of conversation but I feel most people won\u2019t survive it if they don\u2019t even feel it.” However, the one thing that often bogs her down is how women still need to fight the battle of putting their opinions across, which may sometimes lead men in power positions to shut them down. <\/p>\n

\u201cOurs is a visual-medium and it\u2019s more glamour-led in a commercial format. And here, I feel, people are okay for you to be seen but not heard. They don\u2019t want to know your opinion and they don\u2019t want to implement your opinion. They don\u2019t take your opinions seriously either. Ambitious women could intimidate men \u2013 men who aren\u2019t feeling secure enough. But woh toh mardon ki problem hai na. It\u2019s not really the women\u2019s problem,” states Tamannaah. <\/p>\n

But instead of this shortcoming, she chooses to look at the silver lining of being a woman actor in 2025. For Tamannaah, this is the day and age for grey characters to thrive and be accepted by the audience. \u201cBack in the day too, there were many subjects that were led by women. Women played strong characters even then but now, it\u2019s a little more frequent. But the one thing that\u2019s actively happening today is that female characters are a lot more nuanced,” the Baahubali and Jee Karda actor remarks. <\/p>\n

The number of women on a film set is still lesser than men but there\u2019s hope, believes Tamannaah. \u201cComplex roles weren\u2019t acceptable back in the day. So, that difference is definitely there. But the only way this could change even more is when commercial films headlined by women does big numbers. My quest as an actor is to lead more projects and while I do that, I need to ensure that they\u2019ve the potential to bring in those numbers. I don\u2019t see how else things can change,” she points out. <\/p>\n
