As Amitabh Bachchan and producer Shah Rukh Khan bask in the success of Sujoy Ghosh's 'Badla', actress Taapsee Pannu has declared that she plans to celebrate the success of the film as soon as she gets back to Mumbai after finishing shooting 'Saand Ki Aankh'. Taapsee featured in the lead role in 'Badla' along with Amitabh that was produced by Shah's Red Chillies production.
Taapsee revealed she is currently shooting in a remote village in Uttar Pradesh, and rued that no one brought a cake for her. “I have been shooting in Johri village in Meerut area since 'Badla' released. Nobody has come here with a cake for me, so I have no idea what celebrations are going on and who is giving a party to whom. I know one thing for sure that when I come back to Mumbai, I will definitely treat myself with a cake or some party for sure for 'Badla' being such a big success,” Taapsee said.
“I'll try to invite everyone and they can stop arguing about it. That's why I didn't interrup also. I was like, let me come back and I'll throw a party,” Taapsee added. The actress's reference was to a funny banter between Amitabh and Shah Rukh on Twitter. The banter started with Bachchan Sr. saying that his recent film Badla has not recieved enough compliments, despite its impressive box office collection. “'...about time someone started talking about this silent success, because neither the producer, nor the distributor, nor the on line producer, or any else in the industry, in general has even spent a nano second to compliment the success of this film 'Badla', thank you!” Big B's tweet read.
However, in no time, Shah replied to Amitabh's tweet, and wrote, “'Sir hum toh wait kar rahein hain ki aap party kab de rahein hain hum sabko! (Sir we are waiting since long for you to give us a party). We are waiting outside Jalsa (Amitabh's house) every night!,'' he wrote, trying his signature wittiness on Bachchan. The two then had a fun fight on the micro-blogging website.
Produced on a meagre budget of Rs 10 crore, Badla has earned more than Rs 86 crore at the ticket windows and is deemed a hit by trade analysts. Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, the film marked a reunion between Amitabh and Sujoy as well as Amitabh and his 'Pink' co-actor Taapsee Pannu.
