Mumbai: Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu has put all speculations to rest as she denied playing the lead role in the new biopic on acclaimed novelist Amrita Pritam.
On Tuesday, Taapsee made an Instagram post which read: "When a man denies the power of women, he is denying his own subconscious - Amrita Pritam. Moving from one Amrita to the other... Main tenu pher milangi... in theatres from 6th of March 2020."
Accompanying the post was a picture, which a significant section of the media industry mistook it as behind the scene from Pritam's biopic.

However, in a sudden twist of events, the actress has announced that she isn't portraying novelist Amrita Pritam.
In a recent interview with IANS, the 'Mulk' actress said: "It's sad that the majority don't bother to read and interpret my Tweet efficiently enough. Nor connect it with what I posted just a day before the post on Amrita Pritam. It's sad that I have to spell it out so obviously to you."
She further clarified: "It's sad that people think I will write such a cryptic post if I am portraying that magnificent character on screen. So, sadly but honestly, the truth is Amrita is the name of my character in Anubhav Sinha's film Thappad and since her name has a certain connect with Amrita Pritam I used a quote that's written by her but reflects in my character Amrita's life in Anubhav Sir's film."
Clearing the air, Taapsee added that she would have open about admitting it had she been really on board.
Meanwhile, the actress has recently signed a film where is playing the role of a Gujrati Sprinter.
