This year, Tamannaah Bhatia is going to face the cameras with very little makeup on and she couldn’t be happier about it
In what was one of the most successful films of her career, 2015’s Baahubali: The Beginning, Tamannaah Bhatia played a warrior princess who matched the macho leading man almost punch for punch. There was a stunning simplicity to her pared-down look in the film, one she credits to good genes, exercise and the transformative powers of eating ghee! The 27-year-old actor reprises the role this year for the film’s hotly anticipated sequel releasing in April.
