Taapsee Pannu is mostly known for her de-glam roles in films like ‘Baby’, ‘PINK’, and ‘Naam Shabana’. But, in ‘Judwaa 2’ we will get to see her in a totally different avatar. Taapsee, who will be stepping into the shoes of Rambha, recently revealed to Indian Express that it took her three years to convince that she can do a glamorous role.
Taapsee stated, “It’s a fun film. It’s about a lot of dancing. It has a lot of glamour. In south, I started off as a glamorous girl. Here it took me three years to convince people that I can be glamorous enough to be part of ‘Judwaa 2’. It’s just so funny that the two industries are so different.”
Talking about stepping into Rambha’s shoes, she said, “The girls’ characters have been totally revamped. I am with Prem, but my character-sketch is not like Rambha’s. The scenes are different, the backdrop of the girl is different.”
“I’m very much of a modern NRI college girl who stays in London. Jackie has a different character-sketch. But we both are totally opposite from each other. In my dressing, I’m probably more chic. Even in a glamorous film, they made me a college girl next door. So, I’m a glamorous girl next door this time. So, I can’t classify as Karisma or Rambha,” the actress added. (Also Read: Woah!

The actress further spoke about shooting with Salman Khan who has a cameo in ‘Judwaa 2’. Taapsee said, “For so many years, we’ve been hearing so much about Salman. And one fine day you are just standing in front of him on a movie set. So you don’t know what to talk beyond ‘hello hi sir, how are you?’ So, you are very conscious when that person is around. It was an intimidating moment when you meet the star that you’ve been seeing. But when you are working on the set, then the dynamics change. Then you are working with your co-star. Then those things just fade out.”
‘Eat Sleep Bollywood Repeat’ is his life Mantra. Dance is his first love and Rani Mukerji is his eternal crush. He is someone who loves being himself, and as for the ones who don’t agree, his reply? “Talk to my hand!”
