Taapsee Pannu Says Talent Alone Hasn't Led to More Mainstream Film Offers After Dunki
Taapsee Pannu, known for content-driven films, starred opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the 2023 mainstream film Dunki, her biggest commercial project. Despite its scale, she says the film did not lead to more big-budget offers. Taapsee attributes this to factors beyond talent, such as marketability, contacts, and visibility, which she feels she lacks. She credits director Rajkumar Hirani for supporting her casting in Dunki but notes such backing is rare in the industry.
