Re-enacting a role already essayed adeptly by Revathy in Bharathan's Thevar Magan, starring Kamal Haasan and Sivaji Ganesn, was easier said than done.

But Tabu's Scorpion determination had her come up with a winning performance in Priyadarshan's Viraasat.

Especially noteworthy was her rendition of the Payalein chunmun song.

Viraasat fetched her the Filmfare Critic's Award for Best Actress.
