Taapsee Pannu on her role choices, says "I needed to make the unconventional work my conventional work"

Taapsee Pannu has solidified her position as one of the most influential figures in Indian cinema, particularly in the realm of female-led films. Known for her fearless selection of roles and her ability to bring depth to every character, she has become synonymous with strong, empowering performances. Films like Naam Shabana, Badla, Thappad, Pink, and Haseen Dillruba have showcased her versatility and established her as the undisputed queen of women-centric narratives.

Moreover, she stands out as the only actress with her own OTT franchise, further cementing her status as a trailblazer in the industry. With her impeccable track record and continuous rise, Taapsee continues to inspire and redefine the portrayal of women in cinema.

Talking about the conventional and unconventional roles, Taapsee Pannu said "Should I be dwelling on doing films that are conventionally expected from an A-lister? Those films didn't come my way organically: There were only a few of those, like Judwaa 2 or Dunki, where the makers wanted to cast someone who'd add some value to the part. "

"It took me years to come to terms with the fact that conventional work was not going to come my way, and I needed to make the unconventional work my conventional work. I had to start believing that the work I do is mainstream in its own way, in terms of making profits or appealing to the audience." She added.
