Taapsee
Pannu
is
one
of
those
actors
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
today,
who
is
known
to
have
ushered
in
an
age
of
quality
cinema,
where
the
focus
has
shifted
from
the
'star
value'
of
films
to
storylines
and
scripts.
Taapsee
has
worked
in
a
number
of
films,
which
have
been
hailed
for
their
stories
such
as
Pink,
Manmarziyaan,
Mulk,
Game
Over,
Badla,
and
now
Mission
Mangal.
In
a
recent
interview,
the
actress
shared
that
this
is
a
very
good
time
for
her
in
terms
of
the
roles
she
is
getting
but
the
only
complaint
she
has
is
about
pay
parity.

what
she
said.
In
an
interview
with
Times
of
India,
Taapsee
was
asked
if
she
is
in
the
best
phase
of
her
career.
She
answered,
"It
is,
and
I
hope
that
it
only
gets
better.
I
have
no
complaints
about
the
roles
or
the
money
I
am
getting."
However,
Taapsee
has
a
complaint
to
make
about
pay
parity
in
the
industry.
She
continued,
"The
only
complaint
I
have
is
the
lack
of
pay
parity.
A
hero's
salary
is
equal
to
an
entire
budget
of
a
female-driven
film.
Usme
bhi
mujhe
bola
jata
hai,
aap
thoda
kam
charge
kar
lona.
Cost-cutting
karenge
kyunki
yeh
female-centric
film
hai,
mainstream
nahin.
These
things
hurt
a
bit."
Taapsee
described
how
the
pay
parity
situation
is
by
saying,
"If
you
are
cast
in
a
film
where
a
woman
has
an
equal
part
as
the
man,
if
not
more,
you
don't
get
a
male
A-lister
who
will
be
okay
to
share
screen
space
with
you.
If
women
are
cast
as
the
protagonists
in
a
film,
the
male
actors
who
play
their
partners
are
never
A-listers.
On
the
contrary,
girls
are
ready
to
play
smaller
parts
opposite
top
male
actors.
These
things
bother
me."
She
concluded,
"Other
than
that,
I
am
in
a
brilliant
phase
where
I
can
pick
and
choose.
I
am
so
greedy
that
I
don't
want
to
let
go
of
any
good
script
that
comes
my
way."
Taapsee
is
all
set
for
the
release
of
the
multi-starrer
film
that
she
is
a
part
of
-
Mission
Mangal.
The
film,
also
starring
Akshay
Kumar,
Vidya
Balan,
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Kirti
Kulhari,
Nithya
Menen,
Sharman
Joshi,
will
hit
theatres
this
Friday,
on
August
15.
It
is
inspired
by
the
event
of
India's
launching
its
space
mission
to
Mars.
