Tamannah-Karthik sizzling chemistry!

The actress, who’s currently in Mysore for the film, maintains that the concept — which is about two people who drive from Bangalore to Mumbai — may be racy, so to speak, but that’s about it.

“There’s no romantic angle to the film,” says the actress, when asked about the chemistry between her and Karthi, the film’s male lead. “It’s all about how two people communicate, and in that sense, the film has shaped up very well so far. Linguswamy has done a great job in bringing out the best in terms of our performances and the movie’s content,” she adds.

She also takes a very diplomatic stand when it comes to which of the two brothers — Suriya (with whom she starred in Ayan) and Karthi — is the better actor. “They’re different people, each with their own good qualities, and are pleasant co-stars,” says Tamannaah.

The actress seems to be on a remake spree. There’s Kandein Kadhalai, which is a remake of Jab We Met, and the Tamil version of the Ravi Teja and Ileana-starrer Kick. “That’s a coincidence. I just want to play characters that are different from what I’ve previously played,” she asserts.

Perhaps, she’ll get the chance to do that in other regional films. The buzz is that Tamannaah has been offered an entry into Mollywood with Campus Days. She brushes off these rumours, saying, “I haven’t been offered any Malayalam film, though I have heard about these reports. I’m happy doing Tamil and Telugu films, and don’t want to spread myself too thin by working in other languages. If I enter another industry, I’ll have to start from scratch. I’m not ready for that.”

So, once Tamannaah finishes Paiyya (“We’ve just got 30 per cent more to shoot.”), she’ll start with the Tamil version of Kick on August 19. Then, there’s Vijay’s 50th film, Urimai Kural, which will go on the floors in September. “I feel very lucky,” admits the actress, “I’ve got the right kind of films with good stars and all at such an early stage in my career.”
