Taapsee Pannu believes the audience is taking to female-led films
For long, Bollywood's legacy and supplementing box office reports have kept the divide between commercial cinema and its message-driven counterparts, alive. Taapsee believes that the boom of female-led cinema, is what has effectively breached this illusive line. She said, "They’re really interested in female-led stories. Watching films like The Dirty Picture (2011), Kahaani (2012), and Queen (2013) turn into commercial successes gave me assurance that I can sustain a career in this industry without having to go down the beaten path. And this change in the audience, for me, is a big confidence booster".

The interview also saw her reflect on how the industry still harbours a divide between actors fit for performance centric scripts and those that are the usual picks for commercial scripts. Taapsee added, "I am hoping for that to change too".
