There can’t be two of a kind. There can only be one Tabu

There can’t be two of a kind. There can only be one Tabu 

Tabu has never believed in following a set of rules laid down by her

predecessors. She has thrived on a balanced diet of distinct worlds of

commercial Hindi cinema, the South industry, arthouse/parallel cinema

and crossover projects. Not surprisingly then, 'Astitva', 'The Namesake',

'Maachis' and 'Hu Tu Tu' share space with 'Saajan Chale Sasuraal', 'Biwi No

1' and 'Hera Pheri' on her repertoire. Even after spending two decades in

front of the camera, she continues to mix and match — intense films like

'Drishyam' and 'Haider' are balanced with a laugh riot like 'Golmaal

Returns'.

The actress will be back on the big screen next week with 'AndhaDhun',

also featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Radhika Apte. The suspense

thriller, helmed by Sriram Raghavan, revolves around a blind musician who

witnesses a murder. While Tabu hasn’t revealed much about her character, there’s something that makes you take note of her

when you watch the trailer. While she is often compared to actresses like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts for her acting

prowess, Tabu doesn’t think she should be compared to the Hollywood greats.

She says, “I am only thinking about my work and what I should be doing on a set. There is no space and time to think of what

someone expects out of me. Yes, it’s great to know that the audience expects quality from me, and they equate me with some

really substantial actors, but I work for my own expectations. I don’t carry comparisons in my head. There can’t be two of a kind,

anyway. There can only be one Tabu. (laughs!)”
