Tamannaah said, “I feel like in action films, still the credit is always given to the male counterparts.” However, the actress believes that ‘it’s fair’ for her male counterparts in Baahubali to get the kind of attention they did.
”I think it’s fair that what the film did for Prabhas and Rana Daggubati is different from what it did for me, because the amount of the part I had was also like that,” she told the publication in her interview.
Reflecting more on herself, Tamannaah opined that she did not fathom just how big Baahubali had gotten. The actress said that although she wished that she could have leverage the film’s success more, she is grateful for the love and response that she received for the SS Rajamouli directorial.
Citing the reason behind the same, she said that that she wasn’t that evolved as a person adding that she wasn’t in the right mental state to soak in her success to the fullest.
Workwise, Tamannaah is currently gearing up for the release of her Amazon Prime Video series, Jee Karda.
