After giving award-winning performances in films such as Namesake, poor Tabu seems to be in need of a breather. She has been typecast into doing serious, middle-aged characters without any fun.

She has been so desperate to break the stereotype, that she apparently, loved playing the character of Swarajya Lakshmi in her forthcoming flick 'Idee Sangati'. Based on a popular novel, it has Tabu playing a middleclass home-maker.

But as part of the script, she has done a sequence, where she does a Rekha a la Utsav. The stills showing her in a similar costume as the one that Rekha wears in the extremely popular song from the film have already intrigued the audience.

If the look works, then Tabu would be one happy gal, as it would mean more offers from commercial film-makers.
