The star was recently awarded the ‘Entertainment Leader of The Year’ at the India Business Leader Award (IBLA), presented by CNBC-TV18, by the FM and said that it would be an honour to be a part of such a project, but with Ma’am’s permission of course.
At the same event Taapsee also shared her views on the pay parity existing in the industry by saying, “Delhi abhi door hai”.
Meanwhile on work front, Taapsee will next be seen in Mithali Raj's upcoming biopic 'Shabaash Mithu', which stars Taapsee Pannu in the lead role.
Produced by Viacom18 Studios, 'Shabaash Mithu' is directed by noted Bengali filmmaker Srijit Mukherji and written by Priya Aven.
Alongside Taapsee, actor Vijay Raaz will also be seen playing a key role in the film.
