Naam Shabana Happened Because Of Baby’s Unexpected Positive Feedback: Taapsee Pannu

Darpan News Desk IANS, 11 Feb, 2017 03:46 PM
    Taapsee Pannu is everywhere. She might have had a forgettable debuted in 2013 with Chashme Baddoor, but it was Akshay Kumar’s film Baby in 2015, which helped her make a successful impact on Bollywood. Today she has at least four films in her kitty, in the first half of 2017.
    Taapsee, who closed 2016 with a stellar performance in Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Pink will soon be seen in Naam Shabana, The Ghazi Attack, Judwaa 2 and Runningshaadi.com.
     
     
    The trailer of Naam Shabana was released online on February 10, and ever since, it has only been receiving the love of the audience. Naam Shabana is a spin-off to Baby and traces the story of Taapsee’s character until she joined the special task force that fought terrorists in the prequel.
     
     
    Unlike Baby, Naam Shabana is solely dependent on Taapsee, and yes, for a moment it did leave her stressed. “I started shooting for Naam Shabana two days after the release of Pink. So, it was back to back. 
     
    I was getting bombarded with responses for Pink, and that was when I felt the pressure of holding a film on my shoulder. I shared it with my producer who in response said ‘we never took you because of Pink and we didn’t even know about the film. So, don’t take the pressure. You’ve done well in Baby and just be the same.’ With the kind of names attached with the project, I just blindly followed. I wasn’t worried or stressed after that,” Taapsee actor said.
     
     
    While she could relate to Meenal from Pink, she doesn’t relate to Naam Shabana’s character at all. “Meenal Arora in Pink was relatable, in fact so is my character in my upcoming release Runningshaadi.com, but Naam Shabana is nothing like me. I had to literally ask my director how to react to certain situations. This character is quite apart,” she added.
     
     
    Another film that’s closer to release is Runningshaadi.com. The film is being compared to Band Baaja Baaraat. 
     
    But Taapsee has a smart answer for all the comparisons, “Every film which has wedding as the background will look similar because shaadi is mostly similar in major parts of our country. The affair is so big that we can pick any aspect and make a film about it. But Runningshaadi.com is extremely different. It doesn’t talk about wedding planning like Band Baaja Baraat or anything like Happy Bhag Jayegi. It’s about a startup that helps couples elope. It’s a beautiful love story.”
