“I feel hero has no gender and I am trying to prove that. We have for so many years fed our audience that hero is a gender-based term and they have also accepted that. Now the change can not come overnight, it will be slow and steady. It requires a lot of perseverance from the side of all-female actors who are trying to bring the change,” Taapsee told PTI. Taapsee Pannu also accepts the fact that her film, Game Over didn’t make it to the 100 crore club but she hope that other actors will take a risk in the future when it comes to movie choices.

The talented actress, says that it isn’t necessary to choose commercial film always mostly the mainstream ones, who are successful in attracting audience to the theaters. “I am not giving up easily and not succumbing to this pressure that I have to do a certain kind of films to make sure I am saleable. I am ready to push the boundary slowly and steadily as in every way possible. But I can’t change my choice because it doesn’t fall into the conventional formula. I am ok to have my own audience but an audience that believes in my choice of films,” she said.

Coming back to her film Game over the actress said, “We are in the transition phase. All kinds of good films in this space are being accepted. Like Game Over was a dark film, it did not have a regular entertainment quotient like a song or a comedy scene or anything. It is not visually that easily an attractive film but it got good response. Such films require a certain kind of trust from the audience,”
