Taapsee Pannu on ‘Badla’ being called an Amitabh Bachchan film: It’s a male dominated industry

Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu created magic on screen with ‘Pink’. Later, they appeared in ‘Badla’ and yet again nailed with their stellar performances. But, after the release of the film, it was called an Amitabh Bachchan film.

As reported by Hindustan Times, on Neha Dhupia’s show ‘No Filter Neha’, Taapsee said, “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.”

“Yes, when I raise my voice and say I’ve done almost equal if not more, that’s when people recognised and started taking my name because it’s such a male-dominated industry, they don’t even realise 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,” added Taapsee.

Taapsee Pannu will be next seen in Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Thappad’ and ‘Rashmi Rocket’.
