Taapsee Pannu has created a space for her with her hard work and powerful performances. The Pink actor is also known to share her opinions loud and direct. She doesn't mince her words when it's about pay disparity in Bollywood. In a recent interview, she shed light on pay disparity when she has been subjected to it when she worked on projects like Dunki and Judwaa
Taapsee Pannu on Pay Disparity
Taapsee Pannu said, "Funnily, people think I do films like Judwaa or Dunki for money; I get paid a lot. But no, it is the opposite I get paid more to do films that are headlined by me, like Haseen Dillruba. Other films don't really pay me much because they feel they are doing a favour by taking me up in that kind of film." In Dunki, the actress worked with Shah Rukh Khan.
To give a little perspective to her thought, she explained that the movies that have a male lead actor who's a big name won't require a leading lady that charges a hefty price. The role can be played by a female actor who might not be heavy. She also added that it's now a well-established fact that male heroes influence decisions about which female actor would be a part of the project. She asserted that the director will also have no say in the decision until he is a big name in the industry.
Further in this entertainment news, Taapsee Pannu told Indian Express added that in approximately 75% of films, male actors get to decide the leading lady of the movie. Shedding light on this trend further, she added the actors choose the actresses as per their current popularity and the kind of audience they can attract.
