Vishal Bhardwaj talks about his next with Tabu
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Vishal Bhardwaj was asked about one of Tabu's comments. The Maqbool actress had said that he thinks of her whenever he writes a script. When asked if it is true, Bhardwaj agreed and said: "Yeah of course, jaise main aapko batau ke Maine abhi ek novel padha, to wo novel mujhe padhte hue, bada khoobsoorat novel hai Ret Samadhi. (I recently read this beautiful novel called Ret Samadhi). To wo padhte hue mujhe laga ki (and while reading it I realized) the only person who can play this part is Tabu." To which, Tabu interrupted and said, "ye sach hai (this is true)."
Bhardwaj said that he has not told Tabu about the novel but he plans to adapt it with her. After the director confirmed that the film would "of course" happen, Tabu lovingly said: "Kaha milega mujhe aisa (where will I find someone like him?)"
