It is official! Taapsee Pannu has signed a cope with Kurkure and is now their
brand ambassador, thus replacing Parineeti Chopra. Official press release issued
from the brand suggests that Taapsee is perfect for them because she is a
complete idol to promote their fresh tagline and ideology.
The celebrity has
been doing really well. With movies like Naam Shabana, Baby, Pink, Manmarziyaan
and now Badla, she has created an intense and fierce image for herself. On the
other hand, Parineeti’s recent innings at the box office have not been very
great. In fact, she has had a string of flops to her name rather than any
bonafide hits. Looks like this has become an issue with the brand who provides
promptly decided to replace her with Pannu.
First commercial of the brand
is already out and it has Taapsee subverting patriarchal norms in her sprightly
style. Statement from the brand statements that with the talented actress they
are keen to celebrate the forward-thinking brought-in by today’s ladies.
They
consider Taapsee to become an inspiration to them as she has proved her strength
and mettle by taking on unconventional roles, in movies or beyond. Looks like
Parineeti’s loss is Taapsee’s gain.
While Taapsee is coming out with
Badla with Amitabh Bachchan, Parineeti’s next films are with Akshay Kumar,
Jabariya Jodi with Sidharth Malhotra and Sandeep Aur Pinky Farar with Arjun
Kapoor.
