The feisty Tapsee Pannu, last seen in Neeraj Pandey’s Baby has just been announced as brand ambassador for the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) and the actress is very happy to be associated.
Says Tapsee, “I have always been inclined towards sports. The difference being, I watch all other sports with my mind but cricket with my heart. Cricket and cinema being the two religions of this country, it’s beautiful to see them merge as one during CCL.”
She adds, “For me, it’s very interesting to be a part of CCL as a brand ambassador because I am Punjabi by birth, started my career in the Tamil and Telugu industries and now I’m a part of the Hindi film industry too. So it’s as cosmopolitan as it gets. I am looking forward to some superb entertainment on the field by all our heroes.”
Reacting to the fact that fewer women play cricket, Tapsee says, “I feel there’s a scarcity of women in a majority of sectors in India. We live and work in a male-dominated world and it shall continue to be so unless us women realise our potential and put it to optimum use.”
As far as her acting is concerned Tapsee is busy with two assignments. “I have the bi-lingual Ghazi with Rana Daggubati and an untitled project with Amitabh Bachchan produced by Shoojit Sircar.
“We are shooting every shot of Ghazi in Telugu and Hindi as the main actors are known in Hindi as well as the Telugu cinema, like K.K. Menon, Atul Kulkarni, Rana and myself,” she says.
