Taapsee broke down while shooting for Pink

Actress Taapsee Pannu said that she broke down while shooting for her new film ‘Pink’ because of its heart-wrenching subject. ‘Pink,’ set in Delhi, stars Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role.

“It (Pink) was easiest because I belong to this place (Delhi) and difficult because it (subject) was heart-wrenching,” Taapsee said in Mumbai recently. “The two months that I was shooting for the film, I was not doing anything else except this movie. I had a breakdown on the sets as well. I started feeling for my character. It was extremely impactful. It did affect me personally and was very challenging,” said Taapsee.

She said that ‘Pink,’ which has been produced by Shoojit Sircar, will prove to be a landmark film in her career. “I did ‘Baby’ and now ‘Pink.’ That perception has changed. I don’t think people today look at me as cute and bubbly Taapsee. It will be a landmark film in my career,” said Taapsee. Directed by Bengali filmmaker Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, the film will release on September 16.
