Taapsee
Pannu
in
her
new
interview,
has
opened
up
on
how
she
was
replaced
in
a
film
at
the
last
minute
after
she
blocked
her
dates
for
it.
The
film
she
was
referring
to,
is
Mudassar
Aziz's
2019
film
Pati
Patni
Aur
Woh
which
starred
Kartik
Aaryan,
Bhumi
Pednekar
and
Ananya
Panday
in
leading
roles.
For
those
who
don't
know,
Taapsee
was
almost
finalized
for
the
film.
However,
her
role
went
to
Bhumi.
Speaking
about
that
incident,
Taapsee
told
radio
host
Siddharth
Kanan
that
she
found
out
that
she
was
no
longer
doing
the
film
through
the
media.
The
actress
revealed
that
though
the
makers
later
met
her
and
apologized,
they
were
hesitant
to
reveal
the
real
reason
for
dropping
her
from
the
movie.
When
Siddharth
asked
Taapsee
if
she
was
ever
replaced
in
a
film
after
getting
finalized,
Taapsee
said,
"Mere
saath
hua
hai.
Bas
taiyaar
hoke
nahi
gayi
thi,
maine
sirf
dates
di
thi
aur
uske
baad
mujhe
nikaal
diya
(It
happened
to
me.
I
didn't
get
ready
for
the
shoot,
I
just
gave
my
dates
and
then
I
was
thrown
out),
further
adding,
"I
got
to
know
through
the
media."
On
being
asked
if
the
makers
reached
out
to
her
when
she
spoke
about
it
in
the
media,
Taapsee
revealed,
"Obviously,
they
called
me
and
met
me,
not
to
say
kyun
bol
rahe
ho
(why
are
you
talking
about
it)
and
all,
just
to
apologise.
After
I
had
spoken
out,
then
they
met
me
to
apologise
for
it.
But
still,
they
were
hesitant
to
reveal
the
real
reasons
ki
aisa
kyun
kiya
(Why
they
replaced
me?)."
In
2019,
Taapsee
had
said
in
an
interview
with
Mumbai
Mirror
that
she
had
blocked
her
dates
for
Pati
Patni
Aur
Woh
but
the
producers
told
director
Mudassar
Aziz
to
'take
someone
else'.
Following
this,
producers
Bhushan
Kumar
and
Juno
Chopra
had
issued
a
joint
statement
in
which
they
said
that
they
had
approached
several
actors
who
they
thought
would
fit
the
role
but
'never
made
any
commitment
to' Taapsee.
Later,
Taapsee
had
reacted
to
this
in
an
interview
and
said,
"If
I
really
had
to
make
it
bitter,
I
could
have
gone
out
and
shown
messages
which
show
that
I
was
told
to
block
dates.
I
don't
want
to
go
to
that
level
and
make
it
ugly.
I
wanted
to
call
it
out
because
I
don't
want
any
other
actor
to
go
through
this."
Speaking
about
films,
Taapsee
is
currently
awaiting
the
release
of
her
upcoming
film
Haseen
Dillruba
which
is
slated
to
premiere
on
Netflix
on
July
2,
2021.
