Taapsee Pannu recently talked about the appreciation she received for Anubhav Sinha's Thappad that released on February 28, 2020. Almost 15 days before cinemas all over the country were shut down.
The actress, who was already in Haridwar by the time the reviews started coming in, says she’s happy she didn’t have the time to revel in the compliments. “It’s scary when critics declare you are in top form after every film. Where do you go from there? The graph should always keep climbing because once you reach the top, you have nowhere to go except down. Praise can go to your head, though mine is firmly placed on my shoulders,” she chortled, admitting that the best compliment came from her father, who couldn’t find a single flaw in the film.
But what about the brickbats, in particular those coming from detractors who wanted her film banned? “Twitter is a war-zone, when you try answering the trolls, they manipulate your words and give everything a political turn, making things controversial. Then, they will ask for your film to be banned. When it works despite them, they are enraged,” smirked Taapsee.
