Taapsee Pannu: 'Give me a rom-com!'

Taapsee Pannu, acclaimed for her powerful performances in dramas and thrillers, is ready for a different genre. She openly expressed a wish for filmmakers to offer her light-hearted romantic comedy roles. Pannu believes the industry often exhibits a 'creative bankruptcy,' sticking to actors within their established comfort zones. This tendency leads to missed opportunities for actors to showcase varied skills. As a result, she has declined numerous investigative and action film offers since her earlier successes. Pannu advocates for greater trust in actors' capabilities to deliver diverse performances. She feels her on-screen intensity, or even her real-life demeanor, shouldn't prevent her from being considered for roles requiring perceived fragility, such as in love stories. The actress hopes to see a shift towards more imaginative casting practices within Bollywood, allowing her and others to explore a broader spectrum of characters and genres.
