First Look: Tabu is back!

We haven't seen Tabu on the marquee in a full-fledged role for a long, long time.

Except for a half-baked role in Yash Chopra's Fanaa, the actress hasn't been in a film for almost a year.

But she has been busy, and here's proof.

Tabu's next film, The Namesake, is ready, and has been lapped up by audiences at the ongoing Toronto International Film Festival. It was premiered at the festival on September 11.

Directed by Mira Nair, the film -- based on a best-selling novel by Jhumpa Lahiri -- also stars Irrfan and Kal Penn.

Here, the director-actress strike a pose for the portrait session of The Namesake at TIFF.
