National Award-winning actress Tabu, known for portraying intense characters, says filmmakers have become too lazy to cast her in different roles.
The actress has delivered some critically acclaimed performances in films like Maachis, Astitva, Chandni Bar, Maqbool and Haider among others. She has also acted in comic films like Saajan Chale Sasural, Chachi 420, Hera Pheri, Biwi No 1 and others.
Tabu said filmmakers find it easy to cast her for an intense role as they think it works for them. They lack ‘vision’ to offer her different kind roles.
“I think people do whatever is convenient to them because it suits them to cast me in serious and intense roles as it works. So, they take the easy way out in giving those roles. They don’t have the vision to present me in a different role. I think they have become lazy in presenting me in a different manner,” Tabu said.
The Cheeni Kum actress, however, said she doesn’t like to be known as someone doing just ‘serious cinema.’
