Taapsee Pannu Discusses Impact of Alpha's Failure on Female-Led Film Projects
Taapsee Pannu has highlighted how the box office failure of Alia Bhatt's female-led film Alpha impacted other women-led projects, including some of her own, as investors became hesitant to back similar films. She noted that female-led films face higher expectations and less tolerance for failure compared to male-led films, which often receive more leeway despite mixed reviews. Taapsee emphasized that this dynamic leads to some female-driven projects being shelved due to the commercial performance of unrelated films.
