When Tamannaah Revealed Why She Got Emotional Shooting The Song
During the film's trailer launch, Tamannaah said the Chhathi Maiya song has been getting attention on social media.
She said, "This film is very special to all of us. There are so many folk stories in our country, and bringing them to the big screen takes a lot of courage, clarity and vision."
The actor, born and raised in Mumbai, said she had seen large crowds celebrating Chhath Puja at Juhu beach but knew little about the traditions associated with the festival.
"I grew up in Mumbai. Chhath Puja is a major festival, and I have always seen a large crowd at Juhu beach. I did not know much about the festival. But when I shot this sequence, I learnt that it involves a very difficult fast, with people going without water for 36 hours and praying to the Goddess," she said.
Tamannaah also spoke about what she found particularly beautiful about the festival and Bihari culture.
"These days, we hear a lot about gratitude and manifestation. This is a very beautiful part of Bihari culture. Everyone pays their respects to the rising Sun, but here, the setting Sun is given equal importance and respect," she said.
Recalling the experience of shooting the sequence, Tamannaah said she became emotional while performing the scene.
"When I was shooting the scene, I started welling up and I don't know why. As artists, we are vessels, and I feel there is something beyond us that makes us feel certain things," she said.
