Did Tabu sacrifice Kamala Das for Golmaal?

Big movies mean big bucks. Even an actor of Tabu s calibre is not immune from the lure of the lucre. She has repeatedly spoken about not being paid enough. And why should she not be paid well? Tabu is a national treasure. She should be paid accordingly, a senior actress defends Tabu s demand for pay parity.

It seems someone heard Tabu s prayers. Apparently, she has been offered a whopping amount of money ( as much as Deepika Padukone in Chennai Express ) to do the fourth instalment of the Golmaal franchise with her old buddy Ajay Devgn who was her co-star in her first commercial film Vijaypath.

The casualty of Tabu s commercial impulses is the Malayalam biopic Aami on auteur author Kamala Das. Apparently Tabu has said Yes to Golmaal 4 at the expense of the Kamala das bio-pic.

A source close to the bio-pic says, We don t know what happened. But Tabu was in negotiations to play Kamal Das. She is a South Indian, well-read and very literary-minded. She showed a keen interest in the project. The next thing we hear are announcements of Golmaal. We wish her all the best.
