Tamannaah Bhatia has returned to Sandalwood with a special song in Yash's upcoming Kannada movie KGF, written and directed by Prashanth Neel. JaniMaster will be choreographing the song for which Ravi Basrur has composed the music.

Speaking to International Business Times, Tamannaah's father Santhosh Bhatia revealed that she has given a three-day call sheet to film the song. "She is doing rehearsals for the number today and will be in Bengaluru for three days from tomorrow to shoot the number "

The actress, who is one of the most sought-after actresses in the South film industry, wants to maintain her presence in Sandalwood. "She has got two projects lined up in Telugu and three in Tamil. We are in the process of finalising three more projects. As of now, limitation of time has restricted her to just Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. So, we took up this offer when it  came her way," he said, while stating the production house and the presence of a star like Yash were major considerations before signing the project.

The 28-year old is excited about her latest song. 

On asking whether she is open to doing Kannada movies, Bhatia said, " Tamannaah is interested to take up if something unique project comes her way."
