New Delhi: In her two-decade long career, Tabu has never been on a signing spree because she feels a good role is enough to keep an actor alive in the audience's mind.
The 43-year-old Haider star said she has a unique "temperament" which does not allow her to follow others.
"I can't do back-to-back films. I can't do promotions. I have such a temperament that I cannot do anything in excess. If I like something, I will do it otherwise I won't do it. I never felt the need to be in the rat race. I should be satisfied first, as an actor with my work. I will not do something because everyone is doing it," she told PTI in an interview.
Tabu started her career in showbiz as a child artiste in 1985 film Hum Naujawan, where she played Dev Anand's daughter. She also tried her luck in Telugu films before making her debut in Vijaypath, co-starring Ajay Devgn.
The two actors have teamed up again after a long time in Drishyam and Tabu is happy with the way Ajay's career has shaped up in the industry.
"Ajay has carved a niche for himself in the industry. He is extremely versatile and I feel proud when I see his success and growth. But success has not changed Ajay as a person. He is still the same like he was 20 years ago. It's his speciality," said Tabu, who last worked with him in 1999 film Thakshak.
In Drishyam, which is a remake of the Malayalam movie of the same name, the National-award winning actress is playing a cop, who is against Ajay in the film.
"I never thought that I will play such a role where we will be pitted against each other. That shows how cinema has changed over the period of time and you get to understand your own journey. It's a very important film for me. My character comes into play near the interval. I have three important scenes with Ajay in the film," she said.
