Tamanna would be a household name on everyone's lips in the year 2009. The cute actress has her hands full with a host of movies including 'Ayan' in which she co-stars Suriya, 'Padikkathavan' with Dhanush, 'Anandha Thandavam' with debutant Siddharth, 'Raja Rani' with Bharath and 'Paiyya' with Karthi.

Keeping in mind the fact that most actresses including Nayantara, Trisha and Shriya are not able to have a firm footing in the industry, Tamanna being sought after is nothing short of a benediction. Though not in the league of superstardom yet, the petite actress has all the making of being one in the coming months, provided at least two of her films go on to make the 100 day mark.

Tamanna in an exclusive interview to Indiaglitz recently said 'as far as choosing characters are concerned, I try to keep a mixed bag going while donning a variety of personalities. I try to play my characters as honestly as I can'.

'I've always looked up to Madhuri Dixit for inspiration' declares Tamanna. Now that she has the opportunity to showcase her talents in a big way, the actress would definitely need all the inspiration she can get.

Despite being sough after not just in the Tamil film industry but also in the neighboring state of Andhra Pradesh, Tamanna has a dream and that is to work in a Gautham Menon film.

'Our Indian cinema has a framework. I would like to be close to it and bring out the believability factor with my portrayal' says Tamanna. With analysis of this kind, Tamanna sure seems to know her priorities right….something that will stand in good stead in her pursuit for superstardom.

There is also a piece of good news for this actress who started her career with Balaji Sakthivel's 'Kallori'. Even mighty popular actresses are not able to retain their successes due to bad choices of films. The intellect that Tamanna shows might just work wonders for a career that has the potential to blossom big time.

2009 surely belongs to Tamanna….let's see if she has it in her to strategize her career to absolute superstardom.
