Taapsee Signs Telugu Horror Comedy!

Having done good films in Bollywood after a brief break in Tollywood, finally Taapsee Pannu is planning to re-enter Telugu industry with a horror comedy in the direction of Mahi V Raghav of ‘Pathashala’ fame. 

Apparently, heroine centric horror comedies are ruling the roost in Telugu states with maximum guarantee for maximum returns. So, this safe formula appears to have enticed Taapsee to steal the Telugu hearts. Unlike regular horror comedies where group of people get struck in a creepy house and roe of errors creating the comedy, this film is said to be based on different script.

‘It’s not that regular type of film where people are scared with ghost. In our film, ghost is scared by the people. So, the premise and concept is new and Telugu audience hasn’t seen this before. The film has strong characters and technical values, director Mahi informed a newspaper.

‘Actually, I wasn’t interested in doing a horror film post the success of ‘Ganga.’ But, Mahi’s idea excited me. Though, I could not afford for the call sheets and kept Mahi in waiting for ten months, he could not find right actress for the character and came back, I said let’s do this,’ Taapsee explains. More details on shooting schedules, technical casting will be officially announced later.
