From Maqbool (2003) to Haider (2013), Tabu has become a familiar part of the filmmaker’s world. Walking into Aasmaan’s film, she was keen to see what the new blood would have to offer. The actor is impressed after having shot for the black comedy that also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Konkona Sen Sharma, Arjun Kapoor and Radhika Madan. “I have seen Aasmaan as a child. But when he offered the script to me, he met me as a director. On the set, we have a director-actor relationship even though I have known his family for so many years. He allows me to [put forth] my point of view, and we discuss it. It’s nice to see his clarity of vision.”

To Tabu, Kuttey and Khufiya — though belonging to different genres — are an extension of the kind of movies she believes in. “I have always felt liberated [doing layered roles]. I want to experience different parts, without thinking about how they will [affect] my career. Now, characters have become more layered, but I have been playing such roles since the beginning.”
