Taapsee to play a middle-class girl in 'Thappad'
In this gritty, female-oriented drama, Taapsee will be seen playing the role of a middle-class girl, who does something extraordinary, said the media reports.

Taapsee's protagonist will be a middle-class girl," the source was quoted as saying.
For now, Taapsee is gearing up for 'Saand Ki Aankh'
Taapsee is currently working on Anurag Kashyap's Saand Ki Aankh which narrates the real-life story of octogenarian shooters. The movie revolves around two elderly women, who became professional shooters at a very later stage in their lives, somewhere in their 60s. Apart from Taapsee, the movie also features Dum Laga Ke Haisha actor Bhumi Pednekar, and Gangaajal director Prakash Jha.
Getting Haryanvi accent right was the toughest part for Taapsee
Talking about the movie, Taapsee stated that her character in Saand Ki Aankh was both physically and mentally challenging. However, getting the Haryanvi accent right was the toughest part for the actress. "They're Haryanvi but based out of UP. There is an interesting crossover of Haryanvi and Hindi of UP. But we had to keep it simple for the audiences to understand," Taapsee added.
