According
to
the
latest
media
reports,
actress
Taapsee
Pannu
has
been
roped
in
for
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali’s
upcoming
production
'Sia
Jia’.
The
'Manmarziyaan’
actress
will
be
seen
playing
a
double
role
in
the
film.
The
project
will
be
co-produced
by
Shabina
Khan.
Taapsee
is
on
a
roll
with
a
string
of
hits
in
the
form
of
'Badla’,
'Mission
Mangal’
and
'Saand
Ki
Aankh’
to
her
credit.
The
actress
is
currently
basking
in
the
success
and
praise
that’s
coming
her
way
in
2019.
She
is
also
busy
choosing
her
next
bunch
of
projects.
A
source
close
to
the
development
stated
that
although
Taapsee
and
the
script
have
been
locked,
the
hunt
for
the
director
is
currently
being
undertaken
by
Bhansali
himself.
The
big-ticket
project
will
go
on
floors
next
year.
An
official
announcement
from
the
production
house
is
expected
to
be
made
soon.
There
were
reports
earlier
which
stated
that
Taapsee
was
approached
by
Bhansali
for
the
role
of
Amrita
Pritam
in
the
biopic
on
Sahir
Ludhianvi
opposite
Abhishek
Bachchan.
But
the
actress
had
refuted
the
rumours
by
stating
that
she
wasn’t
approached
for
the
project
but
would
love
to
play
Amrita
Pritam
on-screen.
After
having
proved
her
acting
chops
along
with
the
box
office
numbers,
it
seems
like
Taapsee
has
finally
arrived
in
the
big
league.
The
actress
is
currently
busy
with
her
second
collaboration
with
director
Anubhav
Sinha
after
'Mulk’.
The
movie
is
titled
'Thappad’
and
will
also
see
Dia
Mirza,
Ratna
Pathak
Shah,
Manav
Kaul,
Tanvi
Azmi
and
Ram
Kapoor
in
pivotal
roles.
'Thappad’
is
slated
to
hit
the
silver
screens
on
Women’s
Day
in
March
2020.
