Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu who is about to be seen in the upcoming movie Dhak Dhak was recently seen talking about how small-budget films get affected by the ‘star system’ in Bollywood films.
According to the actress, people at first wants to know ‘who the actor in the movie’ before hearing a line of the film, calls out hypocrisy.
Taapsee said, “This myth I had about people believing in ‘content is king’ was shattered while making this film. There’s so much hypocrisy. They will hear your one-line story and will be quick to ask, “Picture mein actor kaun hai (Who is the hero in the film)?” That decides their financial and emotional investment in the project. As an actor, I never asked who my co-star is, or how big the makers are when I signed a movie.I worked with so many first-time directors and co-stars who were newcomers but that is not how others look at it.”
Further, Taapse Pannu has distanced herself from the promotion of the movie as she feels used. Actors to appear in the movie are Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza Rekhi, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanjana Sanghi feature in lead roles in Dhak Dhak.
