Taapsee Pannu has a lot of exciting films in her kitty currently. One of them is Rashmi Rocket, where she plays the role of an athlete. She has been sharing a lot of pictures of her physical transformation and training on her Instagram account. And now, she has spilled the beans on her prep for the role, and how sometimes actresses' films cost as much as an actor's fee.
In an interview with The Times of India, she said, "You don't have as much of a budget in female-driven films as you have in male-driven ones. So you can't rely on VFX, you have to work on your body. Besides, a female cannot invest a full year in a film because she isn't paid as much as her male counterpart. Our films cost as much as a male actor's fee."
