MUMBAI: It's obvious that Tabu is having an incredible year with a smash in Crew, a part as Sister Francesca in Dune: Prophecy, and now Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha.
The actor laughs when we tell her that, adding, “I don’t set out with the ambition of proving a point with any film. I go into a project thinking, ‘How will I be interesting?’ I want to enjoy what I’m doing. I want either a cutting-edge film that gives me something different experientially, or sometimes I want to do regular, predictable [stories]. Crew came to me when I was doing Drishyam 2 and Bholaa. So, I wanted a break from that zone.”

Crew stars Kriti Sanon and Kareena Kapoor Khan beside her, have demonstrated that a movie doesn't need a hero to be popular. Its popularity has encouraged filmmakers to create additional stories with strong female leads.
“Not everyone can make a Crew. It was a combination of story, casting, and marketing. But if a few people are encouraged to make films with women [leading them] because of Crew’s success, it is heartening. It speaks volumes about the conviction of the makers, Rhea Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor. Rhea always believed it would be a Rs 100-crore film. I look at success differently. But she wanted to make a statement and was able to.”
Tabu is currently getting back together with Ajay Devgn in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, one of her closest friends. Their eleventh movie together is a romantic drama. What's something with their chemistry that lasts forever?
“When we say yes to a film, the story means something to us. You can’t define good chemistry. We don’t feed off each other’s energies. But we don’t repeat our dynamics. In some films, we’re pitted against each other; in others, we’re romantically paired. There is freshness to the casting. In this film, what works is that audiences have seen us together for so many years. To them, it’s believable that these two people haven’t met in a long time. People tend to believe that Ajay and I are two people in love, who couldn’t meet and are meeting after eons.”
Her first project with director Neeraj Pandey is the drama. She claims he has the ability for expertly molding his actors. “He will mould you in every take, with the brief he gives you. By the third take, he will want you to reimagine your approach. He’ll say, ‘Let’s try it with a smile.’”
