Taapsee Pannu is gearing up for her next big role in the action-thriller Gandhari, a film that centers on the profound bond between a mother and daughter. In a recent interview with News X, the talented actor shared her thoughts on returning to the action genre and the evolving landscape of spy thrillers in Bollywood.
When asked about the current trend of spy thrillers, Taapsee remarked, “I believe going in very interesting character action. Actually, action spy thrillers were not in fashion. Now, everybody wants to do a spy thriller. I did it so many years ago that now if I do it again it’s very weird; why are you repeating yourself? I’ve done something which was so remarkable back then, I don’t want to touch it and spoil it again. If I have to really do action thriller I was very clear I will go in some other world.”
Her journey in the action genre began with her role as a spy in the 2015 film Baby, opposite Akshay Kumar. The success of her character led to a spinoff, Naam Shabana, released in 2017. As Bollywood continues to explore the spy thriller genre, notably with the YRF Spy Universe expanding to include women-led narratives, Taapsee is focused on bringing something fresh to the screen.
In discussing Gandhari, she described it as a unique narrative: “It's a mother's revenge for the daughter. You will see what is it about.” Directed by Devashish Makhija, known for films like Ajji and Joram, and written and produced by Kanika, Gandhari promises to be an engaging Netflix original. Taapsee also hinted at the potential for successive parts if the film resonates with audiences, stating, “It is an action-thriller with the heart of a mother.”
With Gandhari on the horizon, fans can look forward to a compelling story that blends action with emotional depth, showcasing Taapsee Pannu's versatility and dedication to her craft
