Taapsee's New avatar!

The feisty Taapsee Pannu, seen in an action avatar in Neeraj Pandey’s Baby, is now the brand ambassador for the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL). The athletic actress is very happy with her new assignment.

Says Taapsee, “I have always been inclined towards sport. But the difference is that though I watch all kinds of sport, I watch cricket with my heart. Cricket and cinema being considered as the two religions of this country, it’s indeed beautiful to see them merge as one during CCL.”

Taapsee attributes her cosmopolitan antecedents to her  being CCL’s face. “For me it’s interesting to be a part of CCL as a brand ambassador because I am a Punjabi by birth, started my career in the Tamil and Telugu industries and now I’m a part of Hindi film industry too. So it’s as cosmopolitan as it gets. I am looking forward to some superb entertainment in the field by our heroes,” she exclaims.

Reacting to the scarcity of women playing cricket, Taapsee says, “I feel the pausity of women in a majority of sectors in India. It’s indeed sad and disappointing. We live and work in a male-dominated world and it shall continue to be so, unless we as women realise our potential and put it to optimum use. No one can help us but ourselves.”

As far as her acting is concerned Taapsee is busy with two anticipated assignments. “I have the bi-lingual Ghazi with Rana Daggubati and an untitled project with Amitabh sir produced by Shoojit Sircar. Ghazi is a Hindi-Telugu bi-lingual. For this movie, we are shooting separately for both the languages as the main actors are known in Hindi as well in Telugu cinema, like KK Menon, Atul Kulkarni, Rana and myself.”
