Taapsee Pannu Calls Out Bollywood’s Obsession With ‘Same Actors’; Says, “All Rom-Coms, Glam Stuff Looks The Same”

Taapsee Pannu has once again spoken her mind about the patterns she observes in Bollywood, particularly criticising the industry’s tendency to cast the same actors in similar roles repeatedly. She explained that when studios rely on just a few familiar faces for romantic or glamorous roles, and another set for thrillers, it hampers originality and leads to films that look and feel alike. Taapsee emphasised that true innovation on screen requires filmmakers to be bolder in their casting choices, bringing fresh faces and perspectives to the table. Scroll down to read the full article.

According to her, audiences carry a pre-existing impression of actors based on their past roles, which makes it difficult for a different appearance alone to create a sense of novelty. She noted, “If I’ve seen someone in a glamorous role, and now you make that person wear a sari or a bikini, I have already seen the glamour of that actor. It’s only different, right? So that’s not the actor’s fault.”

She stated, “If you only offer me 10 intense films, I will choose the best out of them, but it will still be a strong woman, intense film because that’s the only genre people have started imagining me in.”
