Taapsee Pannu, one of the leading actresses in the country has recently opened up on how some of the A-lister actors refused to work with her and gave excuses that she doesn’t expect from them. She also opened up on how they are hesitant to get starred in women-led films.
She said, “One actor refused to do a film (in which she had a double role), saying ‘ek Taapsee ko sambhalna mushkil hota hai, yahan toh do hain’. There was another actor who was offered a film with me and we had worked together before. He just said, ‘I don’t want to do this film because, actually, the sympathy goes more to the girl in the end.’ It was a love story! I told him I expected a little more confidence and a sense of security in an actor like him. He has done way more films and is a bigger star. But that’s the sad truth we are dealing with every day,”
Taapsee added, “Every time I sit down with my producers over a list of the top five actors shortlisted for my films, those top five actors are the ones who have done just one or two films. And even they don’t want the role, because the system around them trains them to not do a film in which their role is just 10%,” as quoted by Hindustan Times.
On the work front, the actress was recently starred in Rashmi Rocket. The actress is also further set to get featured in Loop Lapeta helmed by Akash Bhatia. The film is a remake of the cult-hit German film Run Lola Run
