Taapsee Pannu voiced her opinion in an ongoing fight between her and the actress Kangana Ranaut in a recent interview. She spoke about several situations and incidents, which had taken up in recent times including being named as a ‘B Grade actress’ by Kangana. In the interview, Taapsee was asked whether she wants to work with Ranaut in any films in the future. The actress then recalled the incident when the ‘Manikarnika’ actress had turned down the opportunity to work on ‘Saand Ki Aankh’. Later, the role was eventually given to Bhumi Pednekar.
Taapsee in an interview with India Today supported the filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and stated, “Last time, when this was about to happen was for Saand Ki Aankh when Kangana was approached by the makers. I was told that it was turned down saying that why do you need another actress when I am doing it, you can make it about one person. My director wasn’t okay with changing the script.”
Tapsee Pannu further said, “I would love to work with some brilliant co-stars, I have done so in Pink, Mission Mangal and Saand Ki Aankh. I am positive of things becoming better,” she said. The actress’ statements about Saand Ki Aankh came days after Anurag said Kangana was approached with the script. Speaking with NDTV, the filmmaker said, “When Saand Ki Aankh script was pitched by Tushar to Kangana, she said the story is great but what is the need for two characters? Make them one and young and I will do it.”
