No set formula in acting, says Tabu

Actress Tabu has said once a film is released it goes beyond the hands of the cast, 'out of his or her system', and comes in the domain of the audience.

To a question what is her take when a film bombs at the box office, the Padmashri awardee said, "However hard I try, I will never be able to understand why the audience doesn't like a particular film."
The 48-year-old whose portrayals in 'Golmaal Again', 'Cheeni Kum', 'Fanaa' - films of different genres - had been equally praised, said, "Every filmmaker has his own way of telling a story, every producer has his own way of looking at things, in terms of making a film."
When she is approached for a role, she thinks "These are the (other) characters in the film and this is my character. (Now I ask myself) do I want to do that role or not and decide."
Tabu, who was appreciated for her roles in both 'Drishyam' and 'Andhadhun' in recent times, said in all these years every genre of films had come to her "with amazing characters, interesting characters and more importantly characters which are integral to the story."
Every film is of equal importance to her as an actress, Tabu said and adds: "My journey to play a character would be the same whether I do a Tamil film, a Telugu film, any other film."
