When the whole country was in awe of the India’s biggest motion picture Baahubali and couldn’t stop raving about the technical brilliance the film offered, one female critic down south was not impressed particularly with the romantic scene and the following Pacha Bottesina song between Prabhas as Baahubali and Tamannaah as Avanthika.
In the scene and the song, Baahubali romantically disrobes an angry and reclusive Avanthika, who finally falls in love with and makes love to Baahubali. There was a huge cry over the scene and its criticism by the critic when the film was released in July. However, neither Tamannaah not Prabhas or the film’s unit responded to the criticism and chose to ignore it.
After so many days, Tamannaah finally broke her silence on the ‘Rape of Avanthika’ issue in a recent interview. The Milky Beauty said in a matured manner, “I think everyone has an opinion and critics are entitled to their opinion but at the end of the day the movie is made for entertainment and we should not dig so deep into such intricacies as the movie is after all only for the entertainment and not for analysis.”
Tamannaah further said that she has nothing much to say about the criticism and even defended the film by saying that the movie has highlighted women in a beautiful manner even though it was primarily a war film. Tamannaah further said that Sivagami and Devasena were beautiful yet powerful characters.
