Taapsee Pannu shares her thoughts on Animal
Taapsee Pannu recently attended the latest edition of the Expresso event, where she was asked about Animal movie. Responding to whether she would have been a part of the film if given a chance, the actress said "yes" but "on paper."
Explaining her point, she mentioned that if she had read the script of Animal, she would have been as excited as Ranbir Kapoor. However, she mentioned there is a difference between reading the script and seeing the final output.
Talking about how the film is a director's medium, she said, "When I am reading a script, I don’t know which shot he is putting low angle and high BGM on… I can’t see that through the script." Taapsee shared that the director communicates that with his shot and post-production while adding if he chooses to celebrate a character, it will not reflect on paper.
Shedding light on the problematic side of Animal according to her, Taapsee said that "it was a little strange to hear cheers and whistles at certain moments and points" where she wouldn’t have appreciated the background score to grow in a way that forced the audience to react in that way.
She also explained her point with an example of her role in the 2019 film Badla. Taapsee said she was fully aware of the "thoroughly dark character" she was signing up for, and it would receive no redemption. She said that you won't see anywhere in the film her character's darkness being celebrated.
