Meet actress who made her debut at 15, left acting due to…, made a come back, gave Rs 1000 crore film, her name is…
In a world where box office records are mostly headlined by male superstars, one actress silently broke the mould — and the Rs 1000 crore ceiling — without the noise or nepotism. While most would guess names like Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai, or Katrina Kaif, the real game-changer is someone who started acting at 15, debuted in a blink-and-miss Bollywood film (Chand Sa Roshan Chehra, 2005), and then disappeared — only to rise as a megastar in South Indian cinema. Who is she? She is none other than Tamannaah Bhatia, her trajectory is anything but conventional. After her Bollywood debut, she shifted gears and made a mark down South. Her breakthrough came with Happy Days (Telugu, 2007), and her momentum continued with Tamil films like Kalloori and Ayan, solidifying her presence in both industries. Then came 2015, and the project that changed everything: Baahubali: The Beginning. The epic saga not only became a cultural phenomenon but also raked in over Rs 600 crore worldwide. Two years later, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion shattered every box office projection and made cinematic history, crossing Rs 1810 crore globally. With that, Tamannaah etched her name in history as the first Indian actress to be part of a Rs 1000 crore film, proving that a leading lady can carry the legacy of a blockbuster as powerfully as her male counterparts. Today, Tamannaah continues to strike a balance between Bollywood and South cinema. Most recently, she appeared in Raid 2 opposite Ajay Devgn, a move that reflects her effortless cross-industry appeal. She may not make headlines every day, but Tamannaah's success speaks volumes in crores.
