MUMBAI: Actor Tabu's performance in filmmaker Priyadarshan's action movie Virasat won her the Filmfare Award for Best Actress (Critics), making it a noteworthy addition to her resume. Anil Kapoor, Amrish Puri, Pooja Batra, and Milind Gunaji all had significant roles in Virasat, a Malayalam film directed by Bharathan and a remake of the Tamil classic Thevar Magan, written by Kamal Haasan. Recently, Tabu revealed a funny story about how Priyadarshan helped her prepare for the part of Gehna Thakur during her time in Virasat.

“Priyan (Priyadarshan) wanted me to have oily hair and a village look. So, the hairstylist told me to take a little gel and apply it to make it look oily. When I went on set, he said, ‘I asked you to put oil in.’ I said, ‘Yeah, a little. Nice shine is coming.’ So he let it go and then came back with a bottle of coconut oil from behind and poured the entire thing onto my head. ‘This is what I mean by having oil in your hair,’ he said. But then it was very easy for me. I didn’t have to do any hairstyling. I used to get ready in five minutes. Long hair, apply oil, braid it, and go to the set,” she recalled during a chat with an entertainment portal.
Besides Virasat, Tabu had collaborated with Priyadarshan on monumental movies such as the epic period drama Kaalapani (1996), the comedy Hera Pheri (2000), and the mystery thriller Snegithiye (2000).
Tabu, a two-time National Award winner and one of the most well-known female actors in Indian film, is getting back on the big screen for the second time this year. She is next slated to appear in Neeraj Pandey's romance thriller Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, which stars Ajay Devgn in the lead role, after the great success of her heist comedy Crew earlier this year. The movie is scheduled to open on July 5.
