For this week’s releases we have two sheroes in the lead - Kajol in Salaam Venky and Taapsee Pannu in Blurr. And Taapsee is supremely kicked about the competition. “I love Kajol! I adore her not only as the actor that she is but also for her personality. I’ve met her a couple of times. I just love the energy that she has.”
Taapsee intends to watch Salaam Venky. “I will be there at the theatre buying a ticket to watch Kajol in Salaam Venky. Her presence in any film is enough reason for me to be an audience. I’ve always been an ardent viewer of her cinema. I really wish Salaam Venky works for her.”
As for her own film Blurr, Taapsee says, “Apart from the fact that Blurr is a gripping thriller, and I know viewers will be riveted for 2 hours and 8 minutes, they will be on the edge of the seat, Blurr is also a very different experience from the other thrillers.”
Blurr is releasing on the OTT platform Zee5. But Taapsee says she really enjoys the movie theatre experience. "I’ve been going to movie theatres a lot. During the last one year, I’ve seen some really good and really bad films. Enjoyed some films, didn’t enjoy some. But I always enjoy the theatre experience. I am that kind of a diehard theatre goer."
