Last year, Tabu starred in Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Haider', which required her to shoot extensively in the Kashmir Valley. Coincidently, this year, Abhishek Kapoor's next 'Fitoor' took Tabu back to the valley.

Interestingly, the actor's previous experience at the location came in handy, as she found herself in known environs once again. The fact that she was also familiar with the local language, people and even various spots, helped her.

A source says, "The actor had learnt Kashmiri while shooting for 'Haider', which was immensely helpful this time around as well. Tabu could communicate easily with the locals there, and was also was familiar with the area." So, the actor was able to move around the location with ease.

Tabu also shared her knowledge of Kashmir with her cast members and Abhishek. "She was happy that she got an opportunity to shoot in Kashmir once again, since she loves the Valley a lot," added the source.

'Fitoor' also stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Katrina Kaif opposite each other for the very first time. Produced by UTV Motion Pictures and directed by Abhishek Kapoor, 'Fitoor' is all set to release next year on Valentine day, 2016.
