After sharing screen space in ‘Chashme Baddoor’, Taapsee Pannu and Rishi Kapoor will be seen together in the upcoming Bollywood film ‘Mulk’ which is a courtroom drama. Now we all know Rishi Kapoor can be intimidating and Taapsee feels that too but once she got friendly, she started enjoying herself.
In an interview with Indian Express, Taapsee was asked if she was intimidated by Rishi Kapoor when they began shooting. To this, Taapsee replied, “He can be very intimidating if you let him be because he’s a typical loud Punjabi who will take your case if you let him. Once I got friendly with him, I think I really began to enjoy myself.”
In Mulk, we will see Taapsee Pannu in the role of a lawyer. Talking about her role, she said, “It is pretty tricky because as a lawyer you have to learn a lot more lines then the person who is the victim because you have to do a single take for like a 13-14 page scene with five cameras rolling at the same time. So you’re almost like the person who’s holding the attention of hundreds who are sitting there. It’s quite a challenging job.”
Taapsee has been a part of a courtroom drama previously also. Remember one of the most talked about film, ‘Pink’? “What is different is the agenda we are dealing with, which is very different from ‘Pink’. Secondly, I am not inside the box this time. I’m outside it, which is to say that I am playing the lawyer.”
Directed by Anubhav Sinha, ‘Mulk’ releases this Friday, August 3.
