Taapee avoiding roles that are typecast

Taapsee after sizzling in glamor roles created a niche with her performances in performance oriented roles in films like "Pink", "Mulk", "Thappad" and "Assi" etc.

She said she is avoiding roles that make her typecast. She said "Everybody is going into their comfort zone and using tried-and-tested methods. For instance, for glamorous roles, they have a set of five actresses they can cast, and for hard-hitting, issue-based films, they have another set of five actresses to cast,"

She continued "I've actually started turning down films for this reason, telling makers that the audience will easily guess the ending. So, 'Don't cast me in this, it's bad for your film'. I've gone and 'de-sold' myself to a few films,"

She added "It's a snowball effect. From the beginning of my career, I had no options in regular mainstream cliched roles, which are actually money-spinners for actresses. I didn't get those kinds of roles; hence I took the other type of roles, and to my luck, those films and roles later became mainstream."
