Tabu's item number for Urumi

Tabu is one of the very few actresses who can dazzle in all kinds of roles: be that of a housewife, a protagonist or a glamour girl. Very early in her career, Tabu won the national award for her unbelievable portrayal of a terrorism-affected girl in Gulzaar's 'Maachis' in the mid-nineties. She has also starred in a few Tamil films including Kaadhal Desam, Thaayin Manikodi, Snehidhiyae and Kandukondein Kandukondein.

Santosh Sivan, the noted cinematographer-cum-director, has roped in Tabu to star in the trilingual film 'Urumi' to perform an 'item number'.

The talented Tabu was also approached to play Dhanush's mother-in-law in the film 'Maappillai' but she didn't take up the offer, which eventually was taken up by another Bollywood beauty Manisha Koirala. In this backdrop, Tabu's yes to the offer to perform an 'item number' in 'Urumi' has raised quite a few eyebrows.

The film 'Urumi' is being shot simultaneously in Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi. Sources say that Tabu's decision (for the dance) might have been due to the fact that Santosh Sivan had been a close friend and one of the leading technicians in the country in his field.
