Among them are the Ajith-Vishnuvardhan movie, 'Raja Rani', Idhu Kadhirvelanin Kaadhal and the Tamil-Telugu remake of Kahaani among others. She has denied the rumours that she is all set to share screen space with Sundar C in 'Aranmanai.'
The Bollywood actress Tabu made a phenomenal landing into Mollywood almost a fifteen years ago, with the Priyadharshan movie ' Kaalapani' which ran in many festivals. She was also seen donning the female lead in the movie 'Coverstory'.
Now after a decade from these movies, the tall actress will soon be making a comeback with the new movie 'Angry Birds'. What a title! Hope it creates the same effect as the game that got each one addicted to.
