Taapsee Pannu has taken inspiration from her Pink co-star Amitabh Bachchan to play a lawyer in the courtroom drama Mulk.
Bachchan became Pannu’s reference point for her role, which sees her seeking justice for a client she believes is being framed owing to his religion.
“Bachchan Sir’s character in Pink was the best point of reference for me. Since I have worked with him in the film, I watched him closely and learned how he executed the role,” Pannu said in a statement.
“While we are diverse as actors, and the situation my character is in is different, there were specifics that I picked up from watching him personally. His sternness and conviction is something that I observed closely. He could build the personification that the character needed. His dedication to his craft, his discipline and his focus is commendable,” she added.
The film is produced by Deepak Mukut and Anubhav Sinha, who has also directed. It also features Rishi Kapoor, Neena Gupta, Rajat Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra and Ashutosh Rana.
