TIL Desk Bollywood/ After cementing her place in Bollywood with hard-hitting films such as “Pink” and “Naam Shabana”, Taapsee Pannu feels the audience prefers to see her in “serious roles”, even though she debuted in Hindi movies with a light-hearted “Chashme Baddoor”.
The 30-year-old actor says she is waiting to “shift gears” into a massy, commercial cinema with a film like “Judwaa 2”, in which she starred opposite Varun Dhawan last year.
“I have been busy doing other films, my calender was so full. Also, I think audience have loved me so much in this type (referring to serious) of a role that they are not ok seeing me there.
“I am like, let me do it for my breathing space. I don’t know if I should feel good or bad about it. But I am still waiting and struggling to get a film like ‘Judwaa 2’ again to shift gears,” Pannu told.
