Tabu signs second Tollywood film?

It was recently announced that the actor, who hasn’t worked in Telugu films for over a decade, has been roped in for a Trivikram Srinivas film.

Tabu hasn’t worked in Tollywood for over a decade but recently went on to sign a Telugu film. She was roped in by Trivikram Srinivas to play a pivotal role in the Allu Arjun starrer he is directing. Now we hear that she has inked another deal. She will be starring in Rana Daggubati’s upcoming project to be directed by Venu Udugula, which has Rana playing a police officer and Sai Pallavi playing a Naxalite.

Sources told DC, “Director Venu Udugula flew down to Mumbai last month to narrate his story to Tabu. The actress was intrigued by the script and her role in it. In excitement, Tabu agreed to be part of the film, although she hasn’t signed the contract yet,” said a source in the know. Touted to be an action entertainer, it will be a gripping tale, say sources. The film’s shooting is likely to begin in July this year.

In Trivikram’s film, Tabu will play Allu Arjun’s mother. Sources in the know say that the director had two actors in mind for the role. While one was Tabu, the other was Nadiya. Eventually, the role was offered to Tabu. Pooja Hegde has been roped in to play the lead opposite Allu Arjun. If the industry grapevine is anything to go by, this yet-to-be-titled film is inspired by the Hollywood film The Invention of Lying. Written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Matthew Robinson, the 2009 film was about the first human with the capability to lie in a world where people could only speak the truth. The film starred Jennifer Garner, Jonah Hill, Louis CK, Rob Lowe and Tina Fey. Tim Atack had composed the music for this film with Tim Suhrstedt cranking the camera and Chris Gill editing it. The film was made on a budget of US$ 18.5 million and collected US$ 32.7 million.
