Taapsee Pannu

As actor Taapsee Pannu turns 35 on Monday, here are a series of her off-reel moments which showed her admirable candid version in all of its glory.

Taapsee Pannu, who turned 35 on Monday, has never shied away from speaking her mind.

The star of renowned films such as Pink, Mulk, Thappad, and Pannu has not minced words despite the ramifications of trolling or what-not.

Here are some controversies that Taapsee Pannu dealt with like a boss:

On Kabir Singh

Reacting to a news story about a man murdering his girlfriend, Taapsee tweeted that maybe they were so madly in love with each other that he ended up killing the girlfriend, and called it an act of true love. This remark was met with a lot of criticism; she refuted the charge saying people with no sense of sarcasm should ignore her tweets.

The tweets were a dig at the uber-misogynistic film, Kabir Singh. She further spoke of Kabir Singh in an interview, where she said that the issue is not the flawed characters of the film but rather the glorification of their flaws.

Against the Ranauts

In 2019, Rangoli Chandel, the sister of Kangana Ranaut, launched Taapsee, saying some people are plying their business by copying Kangana and never acknowledging her for what she has done. She also spoke of Taapsee’s remark about Kangana’s need for double filters and urged Taapsee to stop being a cheap duplicate of Kangana.

Taapsee responded to Rangoli, saying she will not apologise for her honest opinion. She added she didn’t know Kangana had a patent on curly hair, implying that just because she looked somewhat like Kangana, doesn’t make her a copy. She said she is only cheap as she is not among the highest-paid actresses in the film industry.

Troll magnet

Taapsee Pannu underwent a rigorous routine to look the part for Rashmee Rocket. Though she was praised by many for her transformation, she was also body shamed by some. However, one can say Taapsee knows how to deal with insults better than compliments.

A troll had retweeted her picture from Rashmee Rocket with the remark that she looked like a man. Taapsee retweeted the abusive tweet and asked the troll to remember his words and wait for September 23 (2020) for the release of the film. She thanked him for his comment saying she worked hard for this compliment.

Taapsee Pannu and her staunch criticism of policies and government actions

Even though there aren’t many people from the film industry who come out to criticise the policies of the Central government, Taapsee Pannu has been one of the few to speak truth to power. Taapsee had strong opinions and remarks against some policies which were introduced by this government.

During the farmers’ protest, US-based popstar Rihanna tweeted in support of the farmers protesting against the now withdrawn farm laws. Many saw Rihanna’s tweet as false propaganda. Taapsee Pannu, who noted the irony, tweeted that if one tweet could rattle their (the anti-farmer lobby) unity, then it’s them who have to work on strengthening their value systems and not become propaganda tools for others.

After the Delhi Police’s violent crackdown on the students of the Jamia Millia Islamia during the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, Taapsee Pannu asked if it was the start or an end. She said the assault was setting new rules of the land and those who don’t fit in can very well see the consequences. She also said her heart and hopes were broken after watching the video and remarked on the irreversible damage it can cause.

Dhurandhar

Indian cinema enthusiasts are in for an unexpected treat as the highly anticipated unfiltered version of the blockbuster film Dhurandhar is officially heading to digital platforms. In a surprising double-platform strategy, the raw and uncut cut of the action-packed movie is scheduled to begin streaming on both Netflix India and JioHotstar.

The sudden announcement from the streaming platforms has sparked significant buzz across social media. While much of the recent digital speculation has centered around the streaming schedule for the sequel, media updates have confirmed that this specific raw release applies to the franchise’s first installment. Starting tomorrow, viewers in India will be able to watch the unfiltered version of the movie in multiple regional languages, including Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, complete with intense gore sequences and raw dialogues that were previously trimmed.

Dual-platform digital release brings uncensored action

The announcement has cleared up initial confusion among fans who were anticipating updates regarding the franchise. While international audiences have seen varied streaming distributions for the franchise, viewers within India will uniquely get access to the first film’s “undekha” (unseen) cut simultaneously on two separate streaming applications.

The standard digital premiere for the second installment, Dhurandhar 2, remains locked for June 4, 2026, on JioHotstar and will mirror the standard censored cut that was showcased during its theatrical run. However, for fans seeking an uncompromising, high-octane cinematic experience, the original film’s extended, raw edition arrives online tomorrow on both competing streaming services.

The upcoming Bollywood film Dhurandhar 2 has reportedly secured a significant OTT deal, underlining its strong market buzz ahead of release. According to media reports, the film’s digital streaming rights have been acquired by JioHotstar for approximately Rs 155 crore.

The makers are expected to follow a strategic release plan, with the film likely to premiere on the platform after the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season. JioHotstar also holds digital streaming rights for the tournament, and the post-IPL window is seen as an effort to retain audience engagement.

Reports suggest that the film could arrive on OTT in late May or early June 2026, depending on its theatrical release schedule and run. However, there is no official confirmation yet regarding the exact streaming date.

Industry observers note that the reported deal highlights the growing demand for big-ticket Hindi films among streaming platforms, especially those expected to draw strong audience interest.

The teaser of Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film Ramayana has been released, offering the first glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor in the role of Lord Rama. The film, which is planned as a two-part cinematic project, is scheduled for a Diwali release later this year.

The teaser shows several key moments, including scenes from the coronation and the exile period in the forest of Panchavati. Ranbir Kapoor appears in the role of Rama with a calm and composed presence. The teaser also briefly shows Yash in the role of Ravan towards the end.

Ahead of the teaser launch, Alia Bhatt shared a video message on social media asking audiences to support the project and Ranbir Kapoor’s work on the film. In the video, she said the “Rama unit” video would be released and encouraged audiences to watch and support the film.

Budget and scale

Producer Namit Malhotra said the film has been in development for six to seven years and is being made on a large scale. According to him, the total budget for both parts is around $500 million, which is over Rs 4,000 crore combined.

He said the film is being made for a global audience and aims to present the epic on a large cinematic scale while remaining efficient in production.

Music collaboration

The film’s music is being composed through a collaboration between AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Rahman said working on a project based on such an iconic epic is challenging, as the team wants to present something new while respecting the importance of the story.

Release plan and cast

The film will be released in two parts. The first part is scheduled for a worldwide release in October 2026 ahead of Diwali, while the second part is planned for release during Diwali 2027.

Apart from Ranbir Kapoor, the film also stars Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey and Yash in important roles.
