Taapsee Pannu ousted from ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ on Anil Kapoor’s insistence?

Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu is one of those rare performers, who is not afraid to speak her mind and ruffle a few feathers. The ‘Pink’ actress believes in equality in a male-dominated industry and is always chasing excellence. Now, it is being reported that Taapsee Pannu was the first choice to play the lead in Shelly Chopra Dhar’s ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’.

According to a source quoted by The Times of India, Sonam Kapoor wasn’t the first choice to play the film’s protagonist. Apparently, Taapsee Pannu was the first choice for ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ until Anil Kapoor joined the movie. The actor suggested the makers to consider his daughter Sonam Kapoor for the role.

Taapsee Pannu reportedly also lost out on a role in Kartik Aaryan’s ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’. The outspoken actress was not impressed when she was not a part of the project.

‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ dealt with a sensitive issue of same-sex relationship. And it also saw Sonam for the first time sharing screen space with her father Anil Kapoor. The film didn’t do impressive business at the box-office.

It would have been interesting if Taapsee had played a lesbian character in ‘ELKDTAL’.
