Taapsee Pannu reveals she didn't get much paid to do big films like 'Dunki' or 'Judwaa 2' , says: "They feel they are doing a favour by taking me..."

Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu has revealed that she didn't get paid a lot for doing films such as 'Dunki' and 'Judwaa 2' but instead movies like 'Haseen Dillruba' get her paid more.

During an interview with Indian Express, Taapsee said that in big films, "the hero has a big say on who the heroine is going to be". The actor mentioned that some heroes believe they should "cast someone who will not overshadow me".

Taapsee stated, “Funnily, people think I do films like Judwaa or Dunki for money, that I get paid a lot. But no, it is the opposite – I get paid to do more for films that are headlined by me, like a Haseen Dillruba, and other films don’t really pay me much because they feel they are doing a favour by taking me up in that kind of a film. They feel, ‘There is already a big hero, why do we need anybody else for that?’ I fight these notions on a daily basis.”

The 'Pink' actress also talked about big films and their heroes. “Now, even the audience knows that heroes decide who the heroine is going to be in most of their films, until you have a very big, super successful director, who has his or her own audience. Then the director will take a call no matter what. But 75 percent of the times, it is the hero who has a big say on who the heroine is going to be. Now, obviously, the hero would want someone who is more in trend, someone who is getting more audience attention right now. Some are secure, others think, Let me cast someone who will not overshadow me.”
