Tamannaah: A Kollywood success story

It almost seems like yesterday when Tamannaah arrived at Sify.com for a live chat with fans, for the very first time. Almost everyone wondered how the girl, barely out of her teens, will manage to stay afloat in one of India's most challenging film industries - Kollywood.

And Kedi was just the start.

Over the years Tamannaah has managed to position herself as a top name in both Tamil and Telugu cinema. Analysts believe it a careful metamorphosis that helped her break out of actress Ileana's shadow and emerge as a perfect industry case study of style and substance.

We now bring you that fantastic transformation in pictures.
