Tabu's character in Fitoor inspired by real life Rekha?
Mumbai, Jan 4 (IBNS): Abhishek Kapoor's Aditya-Katrina starrer Fitoor also has a very important character of Begum.
This character was earlier played by Rekha for the film but due to some reasons, we heard that Rekha was no more playing the lovely begum in Fitoor.
The real reason for this however has just surfaced. The character of Begum in the film is very similar to what Rekha is in real life and so it was very difficult for her to be playing herself on screen.
Rekha realised the similarities between the character and her real life as the film progressed and so decided to opt out of the film.
Who better than the successor of Rekha in real life, Tabu, who we have seen deliver phenomenal performances in the past.
Sources say that Tabu has pulled off the same role with much élan.
The similarities between the character of begum and Rekha will be quite evident in the trailer of the film which will be released on Monday.
The character of Begum, which is played by Tabu is a heartbreaker and a seductress which are also the two words synonymous to the real life Rekha.
Rekha's life has been quite interesting which a lot of people don't know about. She led a very mysterious life and had a couple of relationships some known to all and some unknown.
It will be interesting to see the similarities between the two in Fitoor which is slated to release on Feb 12.
Sources reveal that looking at the glimpses from the trailer, the look of Tabu in the film is also inspired by Rekha.
