Ravi Chopra has singed Tabu for his next venture Pappu Paas Ho Gaya, which will be an out and out comedy.

It is believed that Ravi Chopra was looking out for a sexy siren to play the role of a naughty lawyer in the film. The same role was offered to actresses like Mallika Sherawat, Sushmita Sen and Bipasha Basu. Confirming the news he adds, "I have signed Tabu for my next film Pappu Paas Ho Gaya. Tabu is a talented actress. She was my first choice as she is apt for this role."
