Tabu refused to go young for The Legend of Kunal
Link : http://www.gossipbollywood.com/index.php

Today the cosmetic surgery industry reaping in millions of rupees to make celebs look younger, But we also have actresses like Tabu who refuse to look young on screen even if the script so demands.

Tabu plays wife to Emperor Ashoka in the flick The Legend of Kunal opposite her Cheeni Kum star Big B and there are few flashback scenes in the flim which require both Big B and Tabu to look very young.

Director, Chandraprakash Dwivedi reveals, "We had planned to make both Amitji and Tabu lose years on screen. We had consulted makeup artistes from abroad and they had assured us that it could be done. With Tabu, the process would've been much easier because she can look like a 20-year-old without prosthetic support. But she refused. 'Take a younger artiste to play my character's young portion,' Tabu suggested. When she opted out, we naturally had to change plans of making Amitji look younger."

Dwivedi adds, "We haven't found the actors to play the young Amitji and Tabu yet. But we aren't worried because they occupy a very small portion of the narrative. And also the shooting starts at the end of 2009."

The Legend of Kunal is the story about the relationship between Emperor Ashoka and his son Kunal.
