Taapsee Pannu awaits out-and-out commercial films after Judwaa 2

Taapsee Pannu is one of the most accomplished actresses in Bollywood, who can slide into any character within the blink of an eye. If you take a close look at her filmography, you will find a variety of films which range from romcoms to social dramas.

Most recently seen in bilingual psychological thriller Game Over (2019), Taapsee Pannu is now gearing up for the release of her next Mission Mangal. Besides her, the hugely anticipated film also stars Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari, Nithya Menen and Sharman Joshi in important roles.


While the actress is busy doing some back-to-back content-driven films in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu cinema, she does miss headlining an out-and-out madcap commercial film after Judwaa 2 (2017). In a recent interview, the actress spoke about how she is not being offered masala entertainers.

"I also wish to do some light dance sequences in the films. Undeniably, I would love to be decked up and dressed up in lovely attire on the silver screen while performing in some commercial film,” said Taapsee Pannu.

She went on to add that she awaits offers for commercial films. "But unfortunately after Judwaa 2, I have yet not received any offers to do commercial films. Though, I have no reason to complain as I have a few films keeping me busy,” she concluded.

After Mission Mangal, Taapsee Pannu will be seen in Anurag Kashyap’s Saand Ki Aankh with Bhumi Pednekar. After playing a lawyer in the 2018 film Mulk, Pannu will be reuniting with director Anubhav Sinha for her next project, titled Thappad. She is also in talks for several other films which are expected to be announced soon.
