Taapsee Pannu On Mission Mangal’s Success: We Women Gave Akshay Kumar His Biggest Opener!
Many are hailing Mission Mangal to be the ‘biggest opener in Akshay Kumar’s career’, but Taapsee Pannu is proud of the fact that the collaboration of the female cast gave Akshay his biggest opener.
The
recently
released
Mission
Mangal
has
exceeded
expectations
and
is
on
its
way
of
becoming
one
of
the
biggest
blockbusters
of
2019.
The
film
features
a
multi-star
cast
including
Akshay
Kumar,
Taapsee
Pannu,
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Vidya
Balan,
Nithya
Menen,
Kirti
Kulhari
and
Sharman
Joshi.
Many
are
hailing
the
film
to
be
the
'biggest
opener
in
Akshay's
career',
but
Taapsee
has
a
different
take
on
it.
She
is
proud
of
the
fact
that
the
collaboration
of
the
female
star
cast
gave
Akshay
his
biggest
opener.
In
an
interview
with
Pinkvilla,
Taapsee
was
asked
how
she
felt
about
Mission
Mangal
having
opened
so
successfully,
despite
having
a
clash
at
the
box
office,
with
John
Abraham's
much
anticipated
film,
Batla
House.
She
was
obviously
super
happy
about
it,
and
said,
"It's
a
really
good
sign
that
people
have
been
so
receptive
of
a
film
that
not
only
has
big
names
attached
to
it
but
also
has
good
content.
We
have
always
been
seeing
thunderous
openings
for
movies
that
only
had
pure
commercial
masala
elements
but
this
is
like
a
big
step
towards
the
direction
where
films
that
are
heavy
on
content
are
also
making
a
big
opening."
She
added,
"Of
course,
it
has
to
be
with
the
right
names
attached
to
it.
For
me
also,
it's
a
huge
opening.
It's
the
biggest
opening
for
all
of
us,
be
it
Akshay
sir,
Vidya,
me,
Sonakshi,
Nithya,
Kirti
or
Sharman.
That
makes
it
special
and
we
are
very
proud
of
it."
Many
view
the
film
as
being
mainly
an
'Akshay
Kumar
film'
with
important
female
roles.
Taapsee
doesn't
agree
with
this
as
she
said,
"People
keep
saying
that
does
it
take
an
Akshay
Kumar
to
present
a
female
driven
film
or
a
film
where
women
have
pivotal
roles.
We
can
also
boast
and
say
that
we
women
together
gave
Akshay
sir
his
biggest
opener.
We
are
a
proud
to
be
part
of
this
film
that's
opened
so
huge."
Mission
Mangal
celebrates
the
scientists
of
the
Indian
Space
Research
Organization
for
their
hard
work,
and
efficiency
in
successfully
launching
India's
mission
to
Mars.
