Tapasee Turns Down Meaty Role In Amitabh Bachchan Starrer ‘Buddha’
January 17th, 2011 - 1:21 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
South Indian actress Tapasee, who is enjoying her share of name and fame in Tamil and Telugu films, has turned a Hindi project by Tollywood filmmaker Puri Jagannath. It is strange considering the fact that film starred Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and any South actress would die to have a role with Big B.
Moreover, Tapasee was offered a meaty role in this Hindi film titled Buddha. Renowned Bollywood filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is the producer of this film, which will have Big B in the lead role. The director approached Tapasee with the offer of this film but she has reportedly declined to be a part of it. However, no official confirmation has come up yet.
Tapasee is now enjoying the success of her latest Kollywood release Aadukalam, which starred Dhanush in the lead role. The model turned actress has already signed half-a-dozen movies in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam languages.
She is now working in the Tamil film Vanthaan Vendraan, then in two Telugu projects Vastadu Naa Raju and Mr. Perfect and in the Malayalam film Doubles.
It seems that the 22-year old actress has got unexpected success in South Indian films, so she does not want to shift her focus as of now.
