Actor Tamannaah Bhatia has finally made her OTT debut with the web series '11th Hour'. Directed by Praveen Sattary, the eight-episode drama is currently streaming on the Telugu OTT platform Aha.

Talking about the show, Tamannaah said, “The show came to me at a point in my life when circumstances were against me. So, portraying this character on screen became easier for me given my journey at that point. The '11th Hour' will always stay close to my heart.” Talking about her character Aratrika Reddy, she said, “I could live the character, I didn't have to hurry up my expressions or feel things faster. So, I can perform with a real-time feeling. For me, working for this show is a new experience. Moreover Aratrika represents every woman in society. She is an entrepreneur, and she has a big family but struggles with patriarchy. The men in her life don't believe that she can fight. I think this is the problem that society has and it has become possible to show that in an entertaining way in the web format.”

'11th Hour' revolves around a woman whose aim is to make her place in a man's world. It also deals with how she saves her company when faced with impossible odds. Tamannaah added, “Right now, I think the lines between web shows and films are blurring. Now, it is only content. The attention span has changed a lot now because the consumption of content has been changing. As actors, we have a chance to present ourselves in different formats. These formats may be different, but their intention is to give entertainment.”

On the work front, Tamannaah has 'Seetimarr' coming out soon. She also has 'Maestro'. 'F3', and 'Gurthunda Seethakalam' at different stages of production.
