‘I Will Be Equally Biased If I Only Give Work To Outsiders,’ Taapsee On Her Production House


ADMIN

36 views

With films like Pink, Manmarziyaan, Mulk, Thappad, and more, Taapsee Pannu has proved that if you have talent, nothing can stop you from making it big in an industry infamous for being biased towards outsiders. After working for more than a decade, Taapsee has added one more feather to her hat by announcing her own production house Outsiders Films. She is collaborating with Pranjal Khandhdiya for the venture, who has been working as a content creator and producer for 20 years.

People were happy that she is finally doing it for all the outsiders like her, who struggle to find a mentor in the industry who can support them in the industry. Asked if her new production house would be a platform for outsiders in the film industry, Taapsee Pannu told Hindustan Times, "I never claimed that I will give work to outsiders. I did not say that. I said 'I need to give back to people who made me who I am today - the industry and audience.' I have always taken this tag of 'outsider' with pride. I genuinely feel the outsider’s view is better. I think I have been able to pull off the kind of films I did because I had a regular ‘outsider' life till now. I take that as a compliment."

She also added that she doesn’t want to be like those people who have been unfair in their approach and chose actors on the basis of their background and not their talent. She wants to give opportunities to actors who genuinely deserve it regardless of their background and connections. 

“If I start thinking that I will only give work to outsiders, then I will be like those people who give work only to star kids. I will be equally biased, and it won't be fair. I will allow someone who genuinely deserves the work, regardless of the background. I do not think that it is fair. Outsiders Films was not made to tackle nepotism. Then you become the other extreme,” added Taapsee.

We somewhere echo her thoughts because it’s only sensible to give work to people who genuinely deserve it only based on their talent and passion for the art.

She also released a statement wherein she shared that she always wanted to set up her production house since management comes naturally to her. 

She said, “The audience and the industry have given me a lot of support and love over the 11 years of my career. With Outsiders Films, I aim to give back to the industry and empower talent who are looking for a breakthrough and come with no background like me. Pranjal and I together look forward to opening doors for new and fresh talents, both in front and behind the camera.”

We are happy that she is trying to make a mark in the production space too and hope to see some good work as a result of this stint.
