Back in 2005, beautiful lady Tabassum Hashmi aka Tabu has starred in Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Andarivadu movie. Almost 15 years later, she teamed up with another mega hero, as she is rumoured to be playing the role of Allu Arjun’s mother in Ala Vaikuntapuramlo.

The actress finds a unique connection between these two films as she feels that she got lucky each time she did a mega-camp film. Immediately after wrapping Andarivadu in 2005, Tabu has flown to New York to work on acclaimed director Mira Nair’s film The Namesake. Only after seeing her work in this film, Ang Lee cast her in Life Of Pi later.

Tabu now equates this with a similar happening, as she shared that she will be flying to Lucknow to join the sets of the very same Mira Nair’s 6-part web series “A Suitable Boy” which is being shot for BBC One. She plays the role of courtesan Saeeda Bai in this series adapted from Vikram Seth’s novel of the same name.

That’s how the finest actress of the present times got a sense of deja vu, though we cannot compare the work she’s doing in these Telugu films to that of her work on those international ventures.
