Taapsee Pannu opened up recently about taking up unconventional roles in films and said that her work is mainstream in its own way. The actor talked about how conventional films were not coming her way organically and hence she decided to make her own body of work stand out.

Speaking about it, Taapsee said, "Should I be dwelling on doing films that are conventionally expected from an A-lister? Those films didn't come my way organically; there were only a few of those, like Judwaa 2 or Dunki, where the makers wanted to cast someone who'd add value to the part.”

She added, “It took me years to come to terms with the fact that conventional work was not going to come my way, and I needed to make the unconventional work my conventional work. I had to start believing that the work I do is mainstream in its own way, in terms of making profits or appealing to the audience."

Taapsee was last seen in Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, which released last year on Netflix, and the romantic comedy Khel Khel Mein. She will be seen next in Devashish Makhija’s actioner Gandhari.
