It's strange to know that Urmila Matondakar who is going through a pretty lean patch in her professional life, has declined a good opportunity to save her fading career. Apparently the actress was approached by Yash Raj Films for one of their forthcoming films. But being choosy about her roles, Urmila declined the offer.

According to the unit hand from the film Hidaba that stars Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee in lead roles, Urmila was offered a role which was second fiddle to the main actress Rani Mukherjee. Apparently after going through the narration Urmila realized the length and importance of the character was not enough. She asked to make it more meaty and increase the length of it as well as she did not want to be relegated to the side lines of a character artist. Nor was the fact that she would be playing second lead to Rani who is much junior to her. Keeping those in mind, the Rangeela actress preferred to step aside.

Now it is believed that the same role has been bagged by Tabu. Urmila was last seen in Himesh Reshammiya's recently released film Karzzzz .

Urmila made a mistake of rejecting Karishma's role in DTPH because she didn't want to play second fiddle to Madhuri Dixit then. Instead she chose Judaai. All of us know that DTPH still remains one of the most romantic films of Bollywood and Karishma went on to receive National Award in a supporting role.

An intelligent actor shouldn't bother about the length of the role but also various factors. An actor should experiment. Even a dance number in some films bring you more appreciation than the lead. For eg: Aishwarya Rai doing 'Kajraare' in Bunty aur Babli.

Yash Raj is going through a lean phase but they will bounce back. They did after Silsila, Vijay and Lamhe. They know business. Afterall they are in this business for past 50 years. It is always good for any actor to work with this banner. It certainly gives boost to the career.

Tabu anywhere near Shahid is enough for this movie to hit a downhill. No match at all even if she is playing an older character. The guy looks like a teenager. Amrita or even Ria Sen would suit him. Why is no one casting Amrita and Shahid together?😕

i think urmila made a mistake she should have done the role....atleast she could have entered yash raj camp and can get some more movies...more than that she is prettier than tabu and could have matched with shahid better than her...
