Taapsee Pannu and Amitabh Bachchan

Taapsee Pannu is gradually making her way to the top and the actress has worked with some of the best actors in the industry. She holds great respect for veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan and she has already collaborated with him for two films. But he has been unduly given more credit than her for their recent hit, Badla.

She further elaborated saying that even though she performed for a grey character who had more screen time, Badla was still called an Amitabh Bachchan film.

Even when I do films like 'Badla', I had more working days or scenes so to say than Mr Bachchan. He was the hero of the film, I was the antagonist. But the antagonist has more presence in the film than the protagonist. But eventually the film releases, they call it an Amitabh Bachchan film.

Taapsee has always raised her voice for equality and the distribution of work amongst actors irrespective of their family background. But seems like her wailing cries have been knocking on the wrong doors. 

During her interaction at Neha Dhupia’s show, she revealed, “Yes, when I raise my voice and say I've done almost equal if not more, that's when people recognized and started taking my name because it's such a male-dominated industry, they don't even realize that I might have done more work actually. It was called Sir's film, it won't be called a female film regardless of the fact that I have more scenes, it will be called an Amitabh Bachchan film and the credit will go there".
