Taapsee Pannu said she can only demand an equal pay if the opening box office numbers of her movies are as big as her male colleagues in the industry.<\/p>\n

\n

The actor, who recently featured in \u201cNaam Shabana,\u201d said films like this and \u201cQueen\u201d and \u201cMary Kom\u201d are still a rarity in Bollywood.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow many movies like these do you actually come across in a year? Probably one or two, maximum. It\u2019s unfair to ask for an equal pay when you\u2019re not getting an equal amount of opening collection,\u201d Taapsee told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day the audience walks in the theatre and sees a female protagonist\u2019s film, gives us the same amount of bumper opening of Rs. 10-15 crores, that day I will say we need to be paid equally,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The \u201cPink\u201d star said male actors get bigger opening number as compared to female actors and that is something which needs to be changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, it\u2019s unfair for producers to give us an equal amount of money because no matter how good the film is, like mine was this year\u2019s biggest opener for a female protagonist film, but if you compare it with other male protagonist, they get far higher (opening).\u201d<\/p>\n

Taapsee, who will be next seen in \u201cJudwaa 2,\u201d refuted reports that she has been signed by Anurag Kashyap to star in his next.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnurag Kashyap has never even approached me with a script, so I don\u2019t know what are these talks of a film about.<\/p>\n

Right now, I haven\u2019t signed anything. I\u2019ll proudly announce it, you don\u2019t have to wait for any rumor,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
