Actress
Taapsee
Pannu
on
Thursday
announced
that
she
is
turning
producer
and
said
she
will
continue
to
back
quality
content
under
her
banner
titled
Outsiders
Films.
Known
for
her
critically-praised
performances
in
Hindi
films
such
as
Pink,
Mulk,
Manmarziyaan,
and
Thappad,
the
33-year-old
actor
said
the
decision
to
foray
into
film
production
was
organic.
After
being
in
the
entertainment
industry
for
more
than
a
decade,
Pannu
has
teamed
up
with
Pranjal
Khandhdiya,
a
content
creator
and
producer
on
films
like
Super
30,
Soorma,
Piku,
and
her
upcoming
film
Rashmi
Rocket
to
start
Outsiders
Films.
“I
have
been
very
sure
that
direction
is
not
my
cup
of
tea.
Production
was
something
I
thought
I
could
pull
off.
Being
an
actor,
I
love
to
act,
I
couldn’t
divert
my
attention
and
focus
to
something
else
when
I
am
on
a
set.
So
the
day
when
I
have
a
partner
who
could
handle
the
ground
work,
while
I
concentrate
on
my
acting
job,
is
when
I
would
partner
with
and
then
start
a
production.
That’s
when
Pranjal
came
in,”
Pannu
told
PTI.
The
actress
said
she
is
excited
about
expanding
her
horizons
as
a
producer.
“I
didn’t
think
twice
when
he
asked
me
if
I
would
like
to
partner
with
him,
I
said,
I
would
love
to.
And
there
onwards
I
have
really
never
been
stressed
about
practicality
of
things
and
happily
jumped
into
this
new
tag
of
being
a
producer," the
actress
said.
Pannu,
who
made
her
acting
debut
with
noted
director
K
Raghavendra
Rao's
2010
Telugu
romantic
musical
Jhummandi
Naadam,
said
she
will
continue
to
act
and
support
films
she
strongly
believes
in.
“One
thing
Pranjal
and
I
have
maintained
is
that
I
will
only
produce
the
kind
of
films
I
will
be
a
part
of.
This
doesn’t
mean
I
have
to
be
part
of
every
film
I
produce.
It
means
the
kind
of
films
I
will
produce
are
the
ones
that
people
know
me
for
as
an
actor.
That
continuity
and
consistency
will
be
there
because
I
can’t
green
light
a
film
unless
and
until
I
believe
I
am
an
audience
to
it,”
she
said.
The
Delhi-born
actress
said
that
Outsiders
Films
is
an
apt
name
for
her
production
house.
“Pranjal
and
I
both
come
from
humble
backgrounds,
that's
when
the
name
Outsiders
Films
clicked
with
us.
We
aim
to
produce
meaningful,
entertaining,
and
quality
content,”
she
added.
Pannu
has
a
string
of
films
up
coming
up,
including
Hindi
titles
Looop
Lapeta,
Rashmi
Rocket,
Dobaaraa,
Shabaash
Mithu,
and
a
Telugu
movie
Mishan
Impossible.
She
was
most
recently
seen
in
Haseen
Dillruba.
