Who is the fastest rising star in Tamil cinema these days? The answer to that question is Tamanna .
The 18-year-old girl, who has acted in a number of films in Tamil and Telugu is thrilled to the high heavens on landing a plum role in a Tamil film called ‘Ayan’.
The film, to be directed by cinematographer-director K V Anand, has Surya playing the hero.
Anand snapped up Tamanna as he was impressed by her performance in ‘Kalloori’.
In fact, ‘Kalloori’, directed by Balaji Shakthivel, was Tamanna's maiden Tamil film.
The film did not do well at the box office, but Tamanna's performance went down well with the critics.
She has also been signed up for the movie ‘Padikkathavan’ in which Dhanush will be her lover.
‘Padikkathavan’, incidentally, is the remake of an earlier Rajnikant film with the same title.
So, it seems better days are ahead for terrific looking Tamanna.
