variety.comNaman Ramachandran Top Indian actor and emerging producer Taapsee Pannu is on a tear with a welter of projects lined up. Pannu debuted as a producer with horror-thriller “Blurr” (2022) that she co-produced via her Outsiders Films.
The company’s next, “Dhak Dhak,” which follows four women who set out for a road trip to the highest motorable pass in the world on a motorbike journey of self-discovery, went on theatrical release on Oct.
13. While “Blurr” starred Pannu, “Dhak Dhak” sees her serving as a producer only and stars Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Sheikh and Sanjana Sanghi. “Dhak Dhak” is produced by Outsiders, Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, BLM Pictures and One India Stories. “When you release a film, that’s a different monster altogether, nobody’s understanding why you want to release this film in theaters, because it has no big stars, it’s got no formula and no conventional commercial Indian cinema trope to it,” Pannu said.
