Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Taapsee Pannu has slowly but steadily carved a niche for herself in the film industry. The actor, who was on the floors soon after the lockdown regulation eased out, has multiple projects at various stages of production.

Currently, as many as six films are demanding her attention keeping magazine shoots and brand endorsements aside. The actor who turned cover girl for Elle magazine's latest issue was asked about what inspires her to take up multiple projects at the same time, Taapsee said she has no choice as she has pay gap and limited shelf life as a female actor to deal with.

"As a female actor, I don’t get paid at par with my male counterparts. I am also aware that I have a limited prime run in the films, so I have to maximise on my time! I can’t afford to sit at home now that work is picking up after the pandemic-induced lull," said Taapsee in the mag interview.

Pannu will soon be jetting off to Gujarat to complete the final leg of the shoot for Rashmi Rocket in which she plays a runner from the Rann of Kutch who fights for her identity and becomes an athlete. She will also be seen in Looop Lapeta and Haseen Dillruba. The actor has Mithali Raj biopic Shabaash Mithu and a sci-fi thriller directed by Anurag Kashyap in her kitty.
