Bollywood actress Tanushree Datta, who did not have a single release in 2009, says it was a deliberate decision to take a break.
"After my debut in 2005, I had done almost 15 films till 2008, with 'Saas Bahu and Sensex' being the last. Hence, I thought it was time to slow down," Tanushree Datta, fresh after a self-imposed year-long hibernation, said. "I needed time to take a break and think about my career and come back with a better perspective," she said.
So, after 'Saas..', I decided to take it easy and rest for a while. That's why even media interactions were stopped. "Surprisingly, it has not at all affected my career. Though I had no release in 2009, I was busy doing stage shows and endorsements as I have a lot of hit songs to my credit," she said. Meanwhile, after a gap of 6-8 months I also started getting offers which really interested me, the 'Aashiq Banaya Apne' actor said.

Tanushree said working with Jagmohan Mundra, a filmmaker of international repute was great. Similarly, "'Rokk' belongs to horror genre which I have never tried before," she said.
'Theeradha...' is the Tamil remake of Ranbir Kapoor starrer-'Bachna E Haseeno' in which she co-stars with Vishal, a known name down south.
Working in Tamil movie too was a great experience, Tanushree said adding her entire dialogues in the movies are dubbed.
"While enacting the scenes I have delivered the dialogues. However, in the final product, they are going to be dubbed. Initially, picking up the Dravadian language was a bit difficult but I managed after some time," she said.
So, are many other regional movies too in the offing? "Of and on I keep getting Bengali movies. But I would do regional movies solely at my discretion. The project has to be really special, different and excite me in general," Tanushree said.
