Here's why Taapsee Pannu doesn't do typical commercial films

Brilliant actress Taapsee Pannu is currently awaiting the release of her upcoming film 'Looop Lapeta' which she describes as a quirky and experimental project. Sharing her experience of working on it, she recently told The Indian Express, It felt like we were working on ‘college ka experimental cinema’. The cast and crew were filled with so much ‘josh’ and passion, we all wanted to make something ‘zabardast’. It also helps when you don’t take things too ‘heavy-duty’, and make a film while having fun. That vibe is reflecting in our film.

Taapsee then went on to talk about the lack of commercial films in her filmography. She stated, When people would ask me why I didn’t work in ‘commercial cinema’, I wouldn’t understand the question. What is commercial cinema? The one that makes money, or the one that keeps the audience glued to their seats and they want to watch it, come out of the theatre and tell others to watch it too.

The actress concluded by saying, I am part of these kind of films (the latter), and these for me are commercial films. Commercial films are those which give you the ‘paisa-vasool’ feeling, and the one that the audiences sits and watches without getting distracted. For me to do a film, this is the basic mandate.
