National-Award winning actress, Tabu denies playing the role of External Affairs Minister in Uzma Ahmed's biopic
A Mumbai tabloid has
reported that National-Award winning actress Tabu has been approached by
filmmaker Dhiraj Kumar to play External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj
in the Uzma Ahmed biopic.
Tabu's spokesperson denied the news-report as being incorrect. On
her
part, the actress also added, "I have no idea why filmmakers who have
not approached me give out false news of my being approached for their
movies when I have not even been contacted or made aware of a certain
project. This
has also happened in the past. In fact, in some cases, some really big
and established production houses have taken the liberty of using my
name for a project without as much as my consent. I think this is
clearly done to hype their projects and to create
insecurity amongst other actresses who may be approached for the role.
This is a poor practice and people should stop using my name in
vain. Honestly it shows them(filmmakers) in poor light when I issue a
denial like this. Unfortunately they leave me with
no choice because no one has bothered to even check with me.''
