Taapsee Pannu Talks About Her On-Set Equation With Akshay Kumar In Mission Mangal
Taapsee Pannu recently spoke about her on-set equation with Akshay Kumar when they worked together on Mission Mangal. The film is Taapsee’s third collaboration with Akshay.
The
trailer
of
Mission
Mangal
dropped
a
few
days
ago,
and
it
got
fans
excited
for
the
film
which
is
based
on
India's
space
mission
to
Mars,
and
the
scientists
who
contributed
to
this
fantastic
feat.
The
film
features
a
big
star
cast
of
Akshay
Kumar,
Taapsee
Pannu,
Vidya
Balan
Nithya
Menhen,
Kirti
Kulhari,
Sharman
Joshi,
H.G
Dattatreya,
and
Sonakshi
Sinha.
In
a
recent
interview,
Taapsee
was
asked
how
it
was
to
work
with
Akshay
Kumar,
and
this
is
what
she
had
to
say.
Talking
about
her
on-set
equation
with
Akshay,
Taapsee
said
in
a
recent
interview,
"Of
course,
the
comfort
level
increases
with
every
film
you
do
with
a
co-actor.
Be
it
Mr
(Amitabh)
Bachchan
with
whom
I
did
Pink
and
then
Badla,
or
with
Akshay
sir.
Unfortunately,
I
have
not
done
a
film
in
which
there
is
a
full-fledged
role
of
us
together.
In
Baby,
I
had
a
small
role
and
he
had
more
screen
space.
In
Naam
Shabana,
it
was
the
other
way
round.
In
Mission
Mangal,
we
both
have
limited
screen
space.
It
is
not
a
two-hour
role
for
either
of
us.
So
I
hope
in
the
future,
I
get
a
film
where
I
have
a
full-fledged
role
with
him,"
reported
Pinkvilla.
When
asked
how
she
became
a
part
of
this
film,
Taapsee
said,
"Akshay
(Kumar)
sir
had
called
me
saying
that
there
is
a
film
that
he
is
doing
and
it
has
an
ensemble
cast
with
five
women
in
it.
Vidya
Balan
was
already
a
part
of
it.
He
wanted
me
to
hear
one
of
the
parts
and
he
was
like,
'I
don't
know
if
you
will
be
okay
doing
an
ensemble
film.
Everyone
has
a
limited
part
in
it
but
since
it's
such
an
important
film,
I
would
really
like
you
to
be
a
part
of
it.'
I
told
him
that
was
not
a
concern.
My
only
concern
is,
'Is
my
part
significant
enough
even
in
an
ensemble?'"
She
added,
"I
heard
the
script
from
Jagan
(Shakti,
director).
I
said
that
I
definitely
want
to
do
it.
Not
just
because
my
part
is
good
enough
to
remember
when
you
walk
out
of
the
theatre
but
it's
also
an
important
film
to
be
a
part
of.
I
love
to
be
one
of
the
first
to
do
something.
This
is
India's
first
space
film
and
I
definitely
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
it.
So
I
said
yes."
Mission
Mangal
will
have
an
Independence
Day
release
this
year.
