Taapsee Pannu What’s the secret to her box office success

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu had many ups and downs in her career. Recently, while giving an interview, she shared her thoughts on what she has termed the “Alternative Box Office Queen” in Bollywood and explained. During her interview with newsx.com, Taapsee did not shy away from this epithet and justified it by saying that she has always made unconventional choices.

Accepting the Title of the “Alternative Box Office Queen” with Ease

Taapsee noticed with amusement that her career never seemed to be on the ‘normal’ side. “From the beginning, my career was never made to be typical,” she said. She admitted that her preferences further pushed her chances of becoming a Bollywood actress within the conventional mould. She stated, “What is not typical becomes alternative. I tried doing conventional films, but they were not for me.”

Taapsee’s visions and choices are pretty much at the opposite ends of the spectrum from what many actresses support and hunt for in Bollywood films. For this reason, she has earned the reputation of preferring stories and concepts that cross boundaries, such as those focused on ‘alternative cinema’ in India.

The Effect of Offbeat Roles on Taapsee’s Career

In the interview, Taapsee explained how she walked out from the spheres of customary films this way. “I performed best when I broke the mould,” she confessed. This epiphany became an integral part of her game plan as she began to defy the norm of being prudent in an environment where taking big chances is not always feasible.

She disclosed that some of her audacious choices have made some filmmakers and directors cautious about offering her stereotypical parts. Many now believe that she has been typecast for rejecting such roles as she has established herself in the business as a forceful and multi-faceted woman. Taapsee shared this insight with a joke: “These roles might harm the film,” which meant the more traditional films may not be suited for her.

A Close Point of View towards Some of Her Recent Projects

After the fantastic success of Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba, Taapsee was featured again in Khel Khel Mein, another film that portrayed her ability to break the mould again. In Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba, she resumed her character from the first part of the movie, Haseen Dilruba, a brilliant thriller with twists and turns. This allowed her to pull off a character full of layers and complexity.

Taapsee’s growth as an actress is evident through the various roles she has played. She has acted in movies like Pink, which portrayed a courtroom drama, and Thappad, which was also loved by audiences. She has proved her mettle time and again.

What Will Taapsee Do Next?

Taapsee’s next venture is currently in production.  It is called Gandhari, directed by Debashish Makhija and written by Kanika Dhillon. Makhija is an experimental filmmaker, which means Gandhari will be another unique film that adds value to Taapsee’s list of unconventional films she has been a part of.

Nothing entirely about the film has been split so far. Still, one can expect something unusual, knowing. The combination of Taapsee Makhija and Writer Kanika Dhillon’s devices for the film Gandhari.

A Career Defined by Choices

What is amusing about Taapsee Pannu is her nonconformist attitude, especially for a mainstream Bollywood actress. She took the road less travelled and has never shied away from playing challenging roles. She does not need to be just a glamorized heroine.

No matter how much haters will hate, Taapsee Pannu is determined to keep her title ‘Alternative Box Office Queen’. Her journey explains how one can make it in Bollywood.  By being a black sheep and not only a part of a herd.

Imagining how she will approach characters in movies like Gandhari is exciting. Where she will undoubtedly invent something new in Indian cinematic storytelling.
