Taapsee Denies Plans Of Playing Sania Mirza

A  report  on Wednesday morning claimed  Taapse Pannu is gearing  up to play Tennis Champ  Sania Mirza. This,  after she  completes  the bio-pic  Shaabaash   Mithu in which she plays cricketer Mithali Raj.

However Taapsee completely denies any such plans. “Am I playing Sania Mirza?  Not that I am aware of. I am not  even aware  of  any  such project.”

A Sania Mirza  bio-pic has been  on the anvil  for several years  now. It never materializes  because  apparently Ms Mirza holds the sole  right  of  her life story and would like to  play herself in  her bio-pic.

Taapse has  her hands full playing real-lfe atheletes  in  two of  her forthcoming  film : Shaabaash Mithu and  Rashmi Rocket.

 Is it scary that  audiences expect Taapsee  to be the  central  character  in every film?  “It’s challenging.  But also gratifying.In Thappad I was  the  central character. But the  other  parts were also beautifully written.If  you have seen Anubhav’s Mulk and Article 15 you would  know his films have a beautiful arc and a graph for every character.Even  Kumud Mishra and Manoj Pawa were fabulously  written into  Article 15. In Thappad   there were  other  beautifully written  female  characters . My story was at the centre of  Thappad the way Rishi Kapoor  was in Mulk and  Ayushmann  Khurrana in Article 15. But there were  other  characters  who will make you  equally  excited.”
