Taapsee Pannu has also done an out and out commercial film like Judwaa 2 and was even criticized for the same. Talking about the same, Taapsee Pannu said that she did the film only to prove that she can do such a film as well and to not put her in a box. However, she said that she is in a position where she can vouch that her character will have something even if it is a commercial film.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Taapsee Pannu who was last seen in the film Saand Ki Aankh will next be seen in films like Thappad, Tadka and Rashmi Rocket.
