Tabu replaces Rekha in UTV’s ‘Fitoor’ directed by Abhishek Kapoor

MUMBAI: Director Abhishek Kapoor has put an end to all speculation and confirmed that actress Tabu has replaced Rekha in his upcoming movie titled Fitoor, which is being produced under the UTV Motion Pictures banner.

Kapoor said, “Tabu’s wonderful performances in Indian and international shores are too many to be named. She is an actress who fearlessly goes against the tide and isn’t afraid to break stereotypes. I am honoured to have her in my film.”

UTV Motion Pictures senior vice president Amrita Pandey added, “Tabu has been a part of the UTV family since The Namesake, and most recently in Haider. In both movies, her performance has been the emotional fulcrum of the narrative, and we are very happy to have a chance to work with her again in Fitoor.”

The movie, which also stars Katrina Kaif, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Aditi Rao Hydari, is based on Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations.
