Actor Taapsee Pannu, who is receiving appreciation for her power-packed performance in ‘Haseen Dilruba’, is now turning producer. The actor announced on Thursday that she will continue to back quality content under her banner titled ‘Outsiders Films.’ Taapsee has teamed up with producer Pranjal Khandhdiya to start the production house.

“I have been very sure that direction is not my cup of tea. Production was something I thought I could pull off. Being an actor, I love to act, I couldn’t divert my attention and focus to something else when I am on a set,” Taapsee told PTI. 

“So the day when I have a partner who could handle the ground work, while I concentrate on my acting job, is when I would partner with and then start a production. That’s when Pranjal came in,” she added.

Taapsee went on to say that she is excited about expanding her horizons as a producer.

“I didn’t think twice when he asked me if I would like to partner with him, I said, I would love to. And there onwards I have really never been stressed about practicality of things and happily jumped into this new tag of being a producer.” she said.

The actor made her acting debut with 2010 Telugu romantic musical ‘Jhummandi Naadam’. She went on to star in Hindi films such as ‘Pink’, ‘Mulk’, and ‘Thappad’. 

Taapsee will continue to act and support films she strongly believes in.

“One thing Pranjal and I have maintained is that I will only produce the kind of films I will be a part of. This doesn’t mean I have to be part of every film I produce. It means the kind of films I will produce are the ones that people know me for as an actor. That continuity and consistency will be there because I can’t green light a film unless and until I believe I am an audience to it,” she said.
