‘It is the hero who decides who is the heroine of the film’
Taapsee further said- ‘Other films do not pay me much because they feel that they are doing me a favor by including me in that kind of film. They feel that there is already a big hero so why do we need someone else for him? I fight with this kind of mentality every day. Now even the audience knows that the hero decides who the heroine will be in most of his films, unless you have a very big, super successful director who has his own audience. Then whatever happens the director will take the decision.
Do heroes choose heroines according to trends?
The ‘Haseen Dilruba’ actress further says – ‘But 75 percent of the time, the hero has a big influence on who will be the heroine. Now obviously the hero would want someone who is more in trend, someone who is attracting more attention of the audience at this time. Some are insecure, they think that I should choose someone who will not dominate me.
