Story
Ranbir Kapoor's character (as Ved Vardhan Sahni) is about a person who is enchanted by stories, who grows up hearing them and expresses himself by performing them. Kapoor plays a free spirited person who wants everybody around him to be happy. He is a nomad, going out of his way to please people. The film portrays Kapoor's life in three stages–as a nine-year-old child, a 19-year-old adolescent and a 30-year-old foreign-returned adult.
His character bears loose resemblance to that of Edward Bloom in the 2003 American fantasy drama film Big Fish.
The character played by Deepika Padukone (as Tara Maheshwari) is a quick, eloquent and emotionally agile girl who with a gentle gait. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Padukone stated her character as a fan of the French comic series, Asterix, which takes place in Corsica, France. In the film it sets out on an adventure wherein she meets Kapoor's character. They both explore the island and, along the way, they form a troupe to stage dramatic plays and fall passionately in love. In January 2015, Ali roped in few working officials of the tea auctioneer company J Thomas & Co. Pvt. Ltd. for the film. They were not auditioned but directly chosen to play their characters. In an explanation to the connection with company and Kolkata, Ali was quoted, "The character that Deepika plays in the movie is Tara Maheshwari and her family owns many tea gardens. We’ve borrowed the title of "Darjeeling Impex" to portray the company for the film." In the film, Tara's father hands over his tea business to Tara so that she starts a line of tea boutiques, taking the company ahead.
The character played by Ranbir and Deepika is one of the reasons for the film's title Tamasha as it refers to the Shakespearean monologue, 'All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players'.
