Having wrapped up her debut production Blurr, Taapsee discusses how she felt the pressure to ensure unit’s smooth functioning even while focusing on acting duty

Taapsee Pannu
It’s not unusual for Taapsee Pannu to be creatively involved in films that she believes in. Turning producer was then a natural progression for her. In July, the actor announced the launch of her studio, Outsiders Films, following it up with the shoot of her maiden production Blurr. Weeks after having wrapped up the shoot of the psychological thriller in Nainital, Pannu sits content, all the wiser after juggling the double duty of actor-producer.
“I was a different person on that set, unlike on any other project where I have [served] only as an actor. As the producer, I needed to make sure everyone is comfortable, everything is right on the set and that things are completed on time. I had taken on this added pressure,” begins Pannu. Even as she wants to fulfil the responsibilities of her new role, she is certain that acting must remain her top priority when on set. “I don’t want to [divert my energy]; that’s something I want to correct [on my forthcoming productions]. When I am on the set, I want to be only an actor.”
