Taapsee Pannu and Neeraj Pandey team up for 'Meera'

Taapsee Pannu has been receiving a lot of praises after the trailer release of her upcoming film ‘Pink’. Sharing screen space with megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee still makes her strong presence felt in this. After receiving such a wonderful response from B-Town, the actress has now been signed on for filmmaker Neeraj Pandey‘s upcoming production titled ‘Meera’. Taapsee and Neeraj have earlier worked in his directorial ‘Baby’ where she gained a lot of appreciation for doing action scenes with ease.

Looking at Taapsee’s tough personality in this action spy thriller, it’s not much of a surprise to see her back teaming up with Neeraj (as a producer) and director Shivam Nair on ‘Meera’. The story of the film revolves around Meera, the character essayed by Taapsee, and it reveals the back story of how she becomes a special agent.

On the demand of the role, Taapsee will have to undergo intense training to perform several stunts in this movie. Reportedly, the film will start shooting from September end.

Talking about it, Taapsee said in a statement, “It’s almost too good to believe that I’m getting to play the title role in my career so early. I was told about this film almost a year back, but I never believed it. Now finally it’s happening and I am ready to get trained in some intensive martial art form for the action thriller.”

According to a report in a leading daily, ‘Meera’ is more of a prequel to Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Baby’ where actors Manoj Bajpayee and Prithviraj may join the cast of this film. But still, this development is yet to be confirmed.

Apart from this, Taapsee Pannu’s upcoming film ‘Pink’ is slated to release on September 16, 2016.
