Happy That Filmmakers Are Looking At Subjects Through A Woman’s Gaze: Taapsee Pannu

Mumbai: With Mission Mangal behind her, Taapsee Pannu is now preparing for the shoot of the tentatively titled Thappad, which has her reuniting with director Anubhav Sinha after Mulk (2018). It is easy to gauge that the duo will bring another relevant subject to the fore.

“I play a married woman and the movie will showcase several woes that she goes through. It’s not a troubled marriage per se; the film instead offers a woman’s point of view in a marriage,” informs Pannu.

“Happy that filmmakers are increasingly looking at subjects through a woman’s gaze. People are ready for new content. So, I hope that we are willing to give woman’s perspective a chance. If you talk numbers, the ratio of men walking into a theatre versus women is lopsided, which affects collections. If women start claiming better stories, there’s hope,” she added.

The actor is aware that the audience response is heavily skewed towards films with a male gaze a prime example being the recent release, Kabir Singh. “Manmarziyaan (2018) was also a love story of a flawed lover but told from a woman’s perspective. In this society, we are conditioned to buy into a man’s woes more easily. ”

Mission Mangal starring assemble cast has comfortably crossed Rs. 127 cr in the box office.
