When the film industry limped back to work in July 2020 after a four-month shutdown, Taapsee Pannu was among the first to report to a set. She has been moving in and out of sets since, wrapping up films at a break-neck speed. Currently filming Anurag Kashyap’s Dobaara, her fifth project post lockdown, Pannu says she still remembers her first day of shoot in the new normal. Caution and fear reigned their minds as the unit of the untitled Vijay Sethupathi-starrer began filming in Jaipur in October.
“I remember my first shoot post-COVID in Jaipur. It was for a Tamil film (alongside Vijay Sethupathi). We didn’t know how far apart we should stand. Unsure of how paranoid the other one is, it was a case tiptoeing around cautiously. The worst was, we were so awkward and didn’t know how to greet each other. We had all tested negative before shoot but the fear of the unknown loomed large. As the days went by, things got calmer. It was a slim crew and the mayhem of a movie set was completely missing. By the end of the shoot, we could sit next to each other without being weird…,” recounts Pannu. After wrapping up the Tamil film in November, the actor followed it up with the final schedule of Haseen Dillruba, Rashmi Rocket and Looop Lapeta.
