Taapsee Pannu recalled her reaction to receiving a call to be a part of the film in a recent conversation with Shah Rukh Khan and director Rajkumar Hirani. In Dunki, she portrays Manu Randhawa. Dunki received mixed reviews and is running successfully in the theatres.
The Thappad actress revealed that Rajkumar Hirani was the first person she spoke with about the film. The Pink actress said “Actually thoda funny hai mere liye bhi kyunki Dunki ka call jo pehla aya tha wo Raju Sir ka hi aya tha but usey pehle kaafi jagah aa chuka tha I am being considered for this film and I am doing this film and maine kaha ye toh possible hi nahi hai,” Aya mere baare mein pehli baar dhanka rumour. Chalo main yahi sun ke khush hojati hun. (Before Sir called me, there were rumours that I was being considered for the film and just like the other rumour, I thought, this isn’t possible. So, I was just happy that for the first time, there is a good rumour about me).”
Recalling their conversation, the Mission Mangal actress said, “Unhone pehle yahi kaha ke chalo media ne bata hi diya hai to maine socha main bhi phone karke bol hi dun (He called me and said that the media has already informed you so I thought I might as well also let you know).” At that time, Taapsee was shooting for a South film. The filmmaker told her to give her a call when she returned to Mumbai so that he could narrate the story of Dunki. “Wo eklauta aisa ek rumour that jo achha tha aur sach hua (This was the only rumour that was good and turned out to be true),” the actress concluded.
