Mumbai:
Before joining Bollywood, actress
Taapsee Pannu acted in various South Indian movies and worked with the who's who of Tamil and Telugu film industries including Prabhas, Ranna Daggubati and Dhanush. She made her Bollywood debut in 2013 with David Dhawan's
Chashme Badoor, and since then there has been no looking back for this Delhi girl. Taapsee has been a part of hit Bollywood films like
Baby (2015),
Pink (2016) and
Naam Shabana (2017). Now, she's going mainstream.
Currently, she is shooting for her first out-and-out commercial
masala film, the much-awaited
Judwaa 2, directed by David Dhawan, which stars Varun Dhawan as the male lead. "I am changing gears with a something high-octane film,
Judwaa 2. It can't get more commercial than this. I can't wait to see how people react to my glam avatar (laughs). People have seen me in negative makeup, which means sometimes we do things to look ugly, I have done that to myself in
Pink and
Naam Shabana. Now let's see how people react to my glam look. Also, I am excited about it also because it's a new character in the story, my character is not like Karisma Kapoor or Rambha's from the original
Judwaa," she said.
Going by her and her co-star Varun Dhawan's social media posts, the set of
Judwaa 2 looks like one big picnic. "It's a fun film set! Enjoying on the sets is the best way to bring about original comedy, so we keep the momentum like that, and that's what will reflect on screen and make people laugh."
Usually, on the eve of her film's release, Taapsee Pannu does get a little nervous every time. But she says
Judwaa 2 is not a film she is worried about at all, "No sleepless nights because think about it, there is
Unchi hain building, then there is
Tan tana tan (Superhit songs from
Judwaa), there is definitely no need to worry," she said.
Well, all we can say is that we love the confidence and we will surely keep an eye out for her all-new chic glam look. Along with
Varun Dhawan and Taapsee Pannu, Judwaa 2 also stars Jacqueline Fernandez. Superstar Salman Khan, who played the lead in
Judwaa (1997) will be doing a cameo in
Judwaa 2, which is yet to be shot. The film releases on September 29.
