Taapsee Pannu, with back-to-back releases
and a lot of other things on her plate, is
becoming one of the most popular and
sought after stars in the Hindi film industry,
but the actress still feels that people 'don't
know' her yet.
The 31-year-old actress, who has made a
mark with her performances in films,
including Pink, Mulk and her latest release
Manmarziyan, does not fear the over
exposure on her part.
"I don't think I'm at that stage of my career
where it's okay if I do one or two films a
year. Honestly, till the time each and every
movie-goer knows about me, I will not stop
doing multiple films a year. I still have the
feeling that people don't really know me,"
Taapsee told PTI in an interview.
The actress had earlier said that once she is
able to create her own audience, she will
start being more selective in her choices.
"I couldn't have said no to any film post
Pink. I don't regret a single decision of mine.
Even if I made mistakes they helped me
evolve. Post Pink, I don't have any film which
I can pick out from my filmography and say
'It would have been better if I hadn't done
this film'."
Taapsee says her goal is to become one of
the most popular stars of her generation.
"I want to be a star. It doesn't mean that I'll
act any less. My performance will be at par
but I want to be a star. I want the audience
to spend their hard earned money on my
tickets without doubting. And when that
day comes, I'll believe I'm a star," Taapsee
added.
The actress also believes that it is important
to be clear headed, confident and aware
about one's goals.
"It is important to be confident about
yourself. At the same time you need to have
a reality check about yourself and about
things around you. Delusion is something
that kills most of the public figures and the
day you get delusional, it is like suicide
point," she told the agency.
Taapsee credits her directors and writers,
including Anurag Kashyap, for giving her
memorable parts.
While praising the Manmarziyan helmer, the
Naam Shabana actress said that they
(Anurag and Taapsee) are like 'evil twins'.
"We both are like those evil twins, like yin-
yang, biggest bullies and critics of each
other. After the film was over, we were like
'What are we doing next together?' He is a
great director. Internationally, he has
become the face of directors from India.
Anurag doesn't care about 'what people
would say?'. It is something that connect
him, me and my character Rumi," Taapsee
said.
Taapsee Pannu's next film Badla, directed by
Sujoy Ghosh, marks the gorgeous actress'
second collaboration with megastar
Amitabh Bachchan.
