In an interview to a television channel, Thappad star Tapsee was asked if she would be open to working with Kangana in the future. She recalled the incident when she had the opportunity to work with Kangana on Saand Ki Aankh, which the former eventually did with Bhumi Pednekar, but said Kangana turned the opportunity down. “Last time, when this was about to happen was for Saand Ki Aankh when Kangana was approached by the makers. I was told that it was turned down saying that why do you need another actress when I am doing it, you can make it about one person.
My director wasn’t okay with changing the script.” Although things did not work out in their favour at the time, Taapsee said she is hopeful things will get better. “I would love to work with some brilliant co-stars, I have done so in Pink, Mission Mangal and Saand Ki Aankh. I am positive of things becoming better,” she said. The actress’s statements about Saand Ki Aankh come days after Anurag said Kangana was approached with the script. Speaking to another channel, the filmmaker said, “When Saand Ki Aankh script was pitched by Tushar to Kangana, she said the story is great but what is the need for two characters? Make them one and young and I will do it.”
