Tamannaah in an author-backed role

After showcasing her acting chops in ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’, as the fiery tribal warrior, the gorgeous actress is all set to reprise the role of Kangna Ranaut in the Telugu remake of B-town blockbuster ‘Queen’ to be produced by London-based Global Film Media and directed by national-award winning director Neelakanta who made tasteful female-centric film ‘Missamma’ and extracted best performance from Bhumikha, who played a egoistic rich business woman.

“Director is happy that Tamannaah has been chosen to play the female lead as she fits the bill. He is bound to extract power-packed performance from her. Right now, he is fine tuning her role and the script to suit the sensibilities of Telugu audience,” says a source, close to the unit

Meanwhile, Tamannaah is also excited to play one-of-the-most revered roles in Indian cinema in recent times, that of a young middle-class girl who goes on a honeymoon alone, after her fiancé calls of marriage and explores self and world. “It is true that she had done some glam-centric roles in films like ‘Rebel,’ and 'Rachcha’ but all set to unleash her acting skills in

this challenging role to give her career a new turn. Although, she liked the performance of Kangna, however, wants to interpret the role in her own way,’ the source adds. Perfect film for both the Tamannaah and talented director to bounce back into the reckoning.
