Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali said that Deepika Padukone is perfect for Tara's role in
Tamasha.
"Yes. I thought Tara was a kind of a person who would look really nice if Deepika does that part. It is not that Deepika is exactly like Tara but it would be interesting. Deepika has discovered her emotional quotient in her life. Tara discovers the emotional quotient in the story of the film, not before. So that was the big difference," Imtiaz told PTI.
Imtiaz has worked with Deepika previously in
Love Aaj Kal.
"I think Deepika has grown as a person. She has shed her inherent shyness while acting. She has been able to overcome that. That is why she looks more confident. She has always been good, but she looks more confident because she has been able to deal with the shyness," added Imtiaz. (Also Read:

Tamasha also features Ranbir Kapoor.
"Ranbir knows most of the stories which are going on in my mind. He has some stories in his mind that I know as well. So I told him about this one and said that I am going to make this into a film. In the beginning, he decided to work it out. But by that time, the basic soul of the film was in my mind already," said Imtiaz.
Tamasha is scheduled to release on November 27.
