Tabu gave her first blockbuster of the year with Kartik Aaryan's horror-comedy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

Her talent and consistency have never been questioned but to look her best and reach the peak of her stardom in her fifties is commendable. I think women deserve much more credit for their unwavering dedication to their work. Such an inspiration." On the work front, Tabu will next be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's directorial Khufiya, and productions Kuttey.
