What does Tabu have to say about her Fitoor co-star Katrina Kaif?

The actress plays the role of Miss
Havisham as Begum Hazrat in the film.
Bollywood actress Tabu says she always
wants everything to go well with Katrina
Kaif as she is one of the most hardworking
actors she has ever met. Tabu, who will be
seen working with Kaif in Fitoor, feels the
effort the Phantom star puts in her
performance is endearing.
"I am very fond of her. She is one of the best
that people I've worked with. Though we
have worked only for three days with each
other, we had very few scenes together, but
I have fond memories of those days," Tabu
told a news portal.
"I always have this feeling of wanting
everything to go well for her. I think she is
one of the most hardworking actors I've
known. The kind of involvement, attention,
time and effort she puts into her work is
really admirable and endearing. She's had a
long journey in Bollywood," she added.
Tabu will be seen in director Abhishek
Kapoor's romantic-drama Fitoor based on
Charles Dickens' novel "Great Expectations".
The actress plays the role of Miss Havisham
as Begum Hazrat in the film. Tabu says the
character is still the same with an added
emotional layer by Kapoor. "She has a very
heavy aura around her. She is living in her
own world. She has no sense of time, stuck
in a time warp, that's why you see her
dressed her like that. Almost in a costume, in
a house which exists somewhere in the no
man's land, cut away from the world. She
does not want to interact with anybody."
Tabu, however, never felt the role was
demanding as she had a good equation
with the director which helped her
performance. "The entire experience was so
short. Because I wasn't there from the start,
I came at the end. It didn't feel difficult or
heavy. I've known Abhishek for a long time. I
don't know how it would've turned out if
we didn't know each other."
Tabu replaced veteran actress Rekha who
was initially playing the role. The "Haider"
actress said she did not have much time to
prepare for the role. "We didn't have time.
There was a set standing, I knew the role,
the character, Abhishek had spoken to me
about it... He sent me the script. I had two
days to do all the work... We were fighting,
discussing, I was colouring my hair with the
right shade of red, trying costume. We had
to do everything in two days and be ready."
Fitoor is scheduled to release on February
12.
