Tamannaah played the leading lady in three Tamil films in 2010—Paiyaa, Sura, and Thillalangadi. While Paiyaa was profitable and earned her a nomination in the Best Actress – Tamil category at the 58th Filmfare Awards South ceremony,^[9][10] the other two underperformed at the box office.^[11] She had five roles in 2011 including 100% Love, which marked her return to Telugu films,^[12] and Siruthai, a remake of S.

Racha and Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu were commercially successful,^[15][16] and her performance in the former gained her a nomination in the Best Actress – Telugu category at the 60th Filmfare Awards South ceremony.^[17]

In 2013, Tamannaah made her comeback to Hindi films with Himmatwala, a remake of the 1983 Hindi film of the same name. She reprised the role played by Sridevi in the original.^[18] Himmatwala received negative reviews from critics, and Tamannaah's performance in the film was criticised.^[19] She appeared in four films in the following year—Veeram, Humshakals, Aagadu, and Entertainment. While Veeram was a profitable venture,^[20] Entertainment was a moderate success,^[21] the remaining underperformed at the box office.^[22][23] Tamannaah played Avanthika, a warrior princess from an unspecified era in S. S. Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), the first of the two cinematic parts of the bilingual epic film Baahubali.^[24] It became one of the highest grossing Indian films of all time by grossing more than ₹6 billion.^[25] Her last release of the year was Bengal Tiger, in which she played Meera, the daughter of a chief minister.^[26] In her next release, she played Keerthi, the secretary of a rich quadriplegic businessman in Oopiri (2016), an official adaptation of Olivier Nakache & Éric Toledano's French dramedy film The Intouchables (2011).^[27] Both were successful at the box office.^[28][29]
