INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Taapsee Pannu reveals she been removed from films where heroes disapproved of her Taapsee Pannu came forth revealing that during the
signing process of the film Saand Ki Aankh many told her that this was a stupid decision, one of the biggest she ever made apparently.While
simultaneously people were also asking her why she chose to do a film with two heroines, particularly because she is scheduled to play a
60-year-old woman, many were doubting her abilities in this regard
During a chat with the Indian Express, Pannu talked about her thoughts on bringing about a change in the film industry, by aiming to
release an all-female lead film close to Diwali
She further went on to talk about how opportunities had changed in the film industry for female stars in the last couple of years.During the
chat, the star revealed that she was excited because this movie would be the only female-led film and that makes it a very unique selling
point.The star was quoted as saying, &If you don''t like it, I&ll be happy to take the criticism
You will leave with a smile on your face and tears in your eyes.& One surprising revelation that Taapsee made was that, if certain heroes
didn''t approve of her as a possible female lead, for reasons other than professionalism, work ethic or compatibility, she would be
replaced.Furthermore she also touched on the wage gap that female stars have to endure in the industry, even with pay increasing after box
office hits, the female stars were never paid as much as their male counterparts
Taapsee seemed very confident about the film success but her humbleness exuded a sense of maturity.&Even if it hadn''t been my film, then
also I would have prayed that it works so that women-led films get the confidence in releasing on a big date
Because a big date is always reserved for a big hero
Even if there is a clash, it&ll be between two big heroes
Why do we always get leftover dates? So I hope this is a step towards that change
What will happen in the worst case? You&ll fail
But people will say at least they tried.& She further went on to explain some mental hardships as well, citing that one of the biggest was
that when she signed the contract for the film, people began to spew criticism.They told her no one would want to see a film of female
actors without any male hero in the mix
She said, &When we said yes to the film, everyone around us said this is the stupidest decision because why would you do a two girl film
without any hero, who wants to play an old woman?TheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source
