No, I’m not playing Amrita Pritam: Taapsee Pannu
By Subhash K. JhaÂ
Mumbai– Taapsee Pannu has denied she is playing Amrita Pritam in a new biopic.
On Tuesday, sections of the entertainment media, mistook Taapsee Pannu’s social media post quoting legendary author-poet Amrita Pritam to rashly assume that the actress is set to play Pritam in Anubhav Sinha’s underproduction “Thappad”.
It now turns out Tapsee is not playing Amrita Pritam.
“It’s sad that the majority don’t bother to read and interpret my Tweet efficiently enough. Nor connect it with what I posted just a day before the post on Amrita Pritam. It’s sad that I have to spell it out so obviously to you,” the actress exclusively told this journalist.
Taapsee, who recently signed a film where she plays a Gujarati sprinter, feels she would be far more open in admitting it if she were to really play Amrita Pritam.
“It’s sad that people think I will write such a cryptic post if I am portraying that magnificent character on screen. So, sadly but honestly, the truth is Amrita is the name of my character in Anubhav Sinha’s film Thappad and since her name has a certain connect with Amrita Pritam I used a quote that’s written by her but reflects in my character Amrita’s life in Anubhav Sir’s film,” she cleared the air.

Vested interest for me to do ‘Dream Girl’: Ayushmann
Mumbai– Actor Ayushmann Khurrana says there is a vested interest for him to take up “Dream Girl”, which is a massy rom-com.
“I’m all for great commercial cinema that allows me to reach out to a much wider audience base and engage with them. I realised that by doing such masala movies, I’m actually widening the reach for my other films that I often do to spark a social conversation,” he said.
“If they like me in such commercial Bollywood cinema, they will most probably come back to see a project that could be extremely relevant and topical and important for people to see and ponder over. That would give me the fulfilment I seek by being an artiste. So yes, there is a vested interest for me to do ‘Dream Girl’ because by doing so, I can pull a lot more people for my socially relevant films,” added the “Article 15” actor.
Ayushmann, known for movies like “AndhaDhun”, “Vicky Donor” and “Badhaai Ho”, calls “Dream Girl” his most commercial, masala film to date.
“I have always experimented with genres, with roles and scripts and I wanted to do something a little bit out there this time and have a lot of fun with it,” he said.
“It’s a quintessential, hilarious Bollywood comedy that we have all seen and grown up on and it also has a solid script. That’s a prerequisite for any film that I decide to back. It has to be out of the ordinary. The freshness and the innovativeness of the concept excited me to do this film,” he added.
“Dream Girl” is slated to release this Friday.
