Mumbai: Taapsee Pannu is known for her girl-next-door looks and bold onscreen image. But it turns out that the actress was not the first choice of her upcoming mystery thriller "Haseen Dillruba."
Taapsee revealed that the film came to her after the makers exhausted all other options.
"Haseen Dillruba" was a film I had a very gut feeling about the day I heard the basic idea from (writer) Kanika (Dhillon). Unfortunately, I wasn't the first choice for the film and it came to me after all their options were exhausted," Taapsee said.
The "Thappad" actress calls this Netflix movie candy in an actor's hand.
"The good old saying that, if it's meant for you it will come to you stands true for this case. It's not just a beautifully written mystery, it has such wonderful characters, which is candy in an actor's hands," Taapsee said.
"I am glad I got to experiment with my look and performance with this one because I am definitely not the go-to person for this kind of character conventionally, and we all love to take risks" she added.
Haseen Dillruba also starring Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane is about a woman whose heart longs to live like the words captured in a novel but finds herself entangled in the murder of her husband.
Vikrant calls the film a perfect blend of humour, quirk, revenge and romance. "I hope it surprises the audience as much as it surprised me when I heard it first. It was an enthralling experience shooting for," he said.
"Taapsee and Vikrant, have one thing in common I could never make out if they were joking or if they were serious. I always had to look for tiny nuances to understand the pretext," he added.
"Haseen Dilruba", directed Vinyl Mathew will be streaming on Netflix from July 2.
