Taapsee Pannu who is known to be outspoken against the unfair treatment of the industry has once again slammed the filmmakers and producers for replacing female actors with ease and waiting for male actors for years.
Taapsee Pannu has come a long way in her journey. She has made her niche without any backing, from being called bad luck for the industry to becoming the leading lady her journey is remarkable. Taapsee will be seen next in Shabaash Mithu where she plays the character of real-life cricket inspiration Mithila Raj and the trailer of the film is spell bounding. Taapsee Pannu seems to have done justice and how. While in her interaction she has often spoken about Bollywood being biased over a lot of topics from pay parity to nepotism and more.
And now in her recent interaction, she spoke about gender bias in the industry where she recalled how the female actors are easily replaced while the filmmakers and producers wait for male actors for years. Talking about surviving amid gender bias as a female actor she said, ” I realised that the root cause of all these problems that you face as a female actor is because you are easily replaceable. Eventually, everybody is replaceable and we’re going to walk through it, but the ease with which a female actor is replaced is very different from how directors and producers wait for years for a male actor or write scripts for them. If that changes, things will change. So when I started Hindi films, I decided not to repeat those mistakes, and try to be someone people would want to do a certain role, who people would want to walk into the theatre for.”
