Tabu open to playing mother's role but with substance

Actress Tabu, known for her versatile performances, has no qualms about playing the role of a mother in films.

Tabu, who essayed the role of Shahid Kapoor's mother in "Haider", says she is open to playing mother to younger actors like Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor and others.

"It depends on the character (of mother)...if the character is nice then I will do it. Otherwise I will not do boring mother roles," Tabu told PTI in an interview here.

Tabu is now excited to step into the shoes of Rekha for Abhishek Kapoor's "Fitoor". The film also stars Aditya Roy Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.

"I just did one scene with him (Aditya Roy Kapoor). I have a lot of things to do. Gattu (director Abhishek Kapoor) is a friend, I have known him for a long time. It has been a good experience," Tabu said.

When asked about Rekha and if there is a sense of pressure, Tabu says, "It is a huge project."
