Tabu’s Role In The Film

Although the makers have not confirmed details of Tabu’s character, reports suggest she will be playing a powerful antagonist in the movie. According to Hindustan Times, Tabu’s role is central to the storyline and will showcase her in a brand-new avatar. This aligns with Puri Jagannadh’s reputation for creating strong female characters in his films. If confirmed, this would not be the first time Tabu has embraced a darker role. In the past, she has delivered memorable grey-shaded performances in critically acclaimed films like Maqbool and Andhadhun. Her inclusion in this project only adds to the anticipation surrounding the film, as audiences are eager to see her bring depth and intensity to yet another challenging character.
