Tamanna Bhatia has always been a Sridevi fan, even prior to stepping into the senior actress’s shoes to act in Sajid Khan remake of the original Himmatwala. “As a young girl, anyone who wanted to be an actress act would want to look like Sridevi. I remember once in the South, I got an award from her and for me it became even more special because she was giving it.
I would repeat this one particular dialogues from
Chalbaaz. I was that influenced by her and that was my sheer love for Sridevi. I would act like her in front of the mirror”, says Tamanna.
Talking about
Himmatwala which has not fared too well at the box office, Tamanna says, “I enjoyed
Himmatwala and never thought about the future or its consequences or what would come after that. I was always serious and am glad I got the opportunity to work on such a big film”.
