Badla is Amitabh Bachchan's second collaboration with actress Taapsee Pannu. The actors have worked together in 2016's PINK. Taapsee, who is excited to share the screen with her PINK co-actor yet again told news agency IANS: "When you are in safe hands of a brilliant filmmaker and an ace co-actor there is nothing to fear."
Taapsee in an interview IANS had revealed that her upcoming film Badla will be a thriller and that she is going to explore a "new side" of herself with this character. "This is going to be a riveting thriller. It's Sujoy's favourite genre and I am yet another time out of my comfort zone which I actually enjoy the most," IANS quoted Taapsee as saying.
Amitabh Bachchan was in Glasgow last month shooting for Badla where he revealed how the film was a saviour. "Confined. Conscious and content. Until, the film releases. This is the life of creativity. Badla moves each day. Finally away from and distant from prosthetics and heavy costume armour," the actor tweeted. Before Badla, Amitabh Bachchan was working on Brahmastra for which he had to undergo prosthetic make-up trials.
