Tabu Does Not Wants To Look Young Anymore
The scintillating diva Tabu has refused to turn young for director Chandraprakash Dwivedi’s historical film The Legend of Kunal which is about emperor Ashoka’s last days and his relationship with his son Kunal. While Amitabh Bachchan plays the emperor, Tabu plays his wife Tishyarakshitra.
For a flashback sequence in the film, Dwivedi wanted Big B and Tabu to look young and had even contacted make-up experts in Hollywood to make the two stars look half their age for the camera. However, Tabu surprised the director by refusing to look younger, even after the make-up experts said it could be done easily.
So now, Dwivedi is only left with the choice of roping in young actors who look like Tabu and Big B respectively. But the director is not worried because the flashback sequence is a small part of the film and the shooting will begin only by the end of this year. Source
