Taapsee Pannu: ‘I hope Thappad will break my firebrand image'

When one thinks of actor Taapsee Pannu’s movies, it is a given that she will pack a punch with the fierce, bold and firebrand image that she has come to be known for.

With her next film Thappad, which highlights the subject of domestic violence, the actor hopes to break that tag and set a new benchmark for herself.

“Thappad is one of the most challenging projects of my career because I carry this image of a firebrand actor and people think that isse koi maarega toh yeh ghumaake maaregi. We were trying to strip off that firebrand image to make her resonate with the average Indian woman who still believes in keeping things to herself and not fighting back. And to make my audience believe in my character Amrita who is submissive and vulnerable, was tough,” Taapsee says.
