MUMBAI: Actress Tabu says contrary to popular perception, she has no disdain for commercial films, and would love to do something like Golmaaal 4
Tabu, who has been part of critically-acclaimed films like Maqbool , Cheeni Kum and Haider , says people form an assumption on the basis of her films.
“If I am doing a certain kind of cinema, that does not mean I hate the other kind. People will talk about only what is working and they get stuck with that. Personally, as an artiste, I never discriminate. If I am offered a Golmaal 4 , I’ll happily do it. How can people make these assumptions about me?” Tabu said. Tabu was seen in superstar Salman Khan-starrer Jai Ho and had a blink-and-miss appearance in Shah Rukh Khan’s Main Hoon Na . The 44-year-old actress says she is the last person to make judgements on any kind of cinema, especially commercial films, as they have given her the platform to do smaller movies. “I am a product of commercial cinema. It is what has helped me become a successful actress. It has given me a platform to do other types of films. If I did not have commercial success, then I wouldn’t be able to do these other films.” The Drishyam star said she had mostly been a part of mainstream films in her career, which many people have forgotten today. “There is a notion among people. I don’t know why they forget that out of the 80 films I’ve done, 70 have been mainstream commercial cinema. If you see my work in Telugu films, you’ll be like… (makes a funny face).” Tabu will next be seen in director Abhishek Kapoor’s romantic drama Fitoor . The actress says now she is in the mood to do an “out-and-out action” film. “I want to do an action film. I don’t have a script in mind. Directors should try and cast me in such a film. I have never done an out-and-out action film. I’ve only done a few scenes in Maa Tujhe Salaam ,” she added. Tabu will also be seen in Missing , which she says “has been completed a long time ago and will hopefully release soon.” I want to do an action film. I don’t have a script in mind. Directors should try to cast me in such a film.–PTI
