Urmila declines Yashraj offer

It’s strange to know that Urmila Matondakar who is going through a pretty lean patch in her professional life, has declined a good opportunity to save her fading career. Apparently the actress was approached by Yash Raj Films for one of their forthcoming films. But being choosy about her roles, Urmila declined the offer.

According to the unit hand from the film Hidaba that stars Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee in lead roles, Urmila was offered a role which was second fiddle to the main actress Rani Mukherjee. Apparently after going through the narration Urmila realized the length and importance of the character was not enough. She asked to make it more meaty and increase the length of it as well as she did not want to be relegated to the side lines of a character artist. Nor was the fact that she would be playing second lead to Rani who is much junior to her. Keeping those in mind, the Rangeela actress preferred to step aside.

Now it is believed that the same role has been bagged by Tabu. Urmila was last seen in Himesh Reshammiya’s recently released film Karzzzz .
