Ravishing beauty Tamannaah was the last star to join Baahubali and has been promoting the film quite aggressively in the north. Her popularity among the Bollywood audiences has become a plus for Baahubali. In one of the interviews given to a leading news daily, Tamannaah revealed several interesting facts about how she prepared for Avanthika, her character in the film.

Tamannaah said that she plays Prabhas' love interest in the film and that Prabhas was extremely nice and helped her throughout the shoot. Tamannaah also revealed that she knocked at Prabhas' door at night on day and asked him to teach her how to hold the sword and fight and Prabhas was generous enough to teach her a few tricks.

Tamannaah said that Baahubali was a huge challenge since they shot for 18 hours a day for more than a year in extremely tough conditions. The gorgeous beauty further said that she performed in several actions sequences and stunts for the first time in her career and that wielding the sword and bow and arrows was a difficult task. Let us hope that Tamannaah's hardwork paysoff when the film releases this July.
