Kollywood actress Tamannah thanked Director Sahankar for appreciating her with the words that she would soon become the next Simran of the tamil industry.  “I never expected that Shankar sir would appreciate me like this. His words were very encouraging and I am thankful to him for holding me in such a high position. A top filmmaker like Shankar hailing me is not a small thing.” “Though I was there in a couple of Tamil films earlier, it was Shankar sir’s S Pictures that gave me a break with ‘Kalloori’. It was only then I was able to occupy a decent position in Kollywood. So I am always grateful to him.” said the actress whose latest flick Paiyya has turned out to be a block buster.
