Taapsee Pannu on ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’: “The problem was unprofessionalism I wanted to call out”

Taapsee Pannu was to star in Juno Chopra and Bhushan Kumar’s upcoming  ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’ but was replaced in the film, to which the producers had said that she was not finalized but only considered amongst others. Pannu had voiced the unprofessionalism in this casting last month, and says that she had the power to point it out and she did, but it was not intended to target anyone.

Pannu said, “Today I have the power to call it out and I did. Thankfully, I am in a position where I have enough work. If I would have been in a position where I didn’t have enough work, they would have said I am doing it to get attention. That I am making noise. One film out of my career is not going to make me lose a National Award. The problem wasn’t that. The problem was unprofessionalism which I wanted to call out. I didn’t want to target a particular person or a group of people. That wasn’t the idea. Otherwise, I would have responded to them by publishing the texts that would prove that I was asked to come at (specific) date and block dates. I didn’t want to go to that level. There is no point getting bitter or making it ugly because my idea was to call out this practice which is wrong and should not happen to any other actor,” as according to Indian Express.

Meanwhile, Pannu will next be seen in ‘Badla’, which is slated for a 8th March release.
