Taapsee Pannu is receiving appreciation for her latest film "Assi." Critics have also appreciated the film. However, as always, despite the good content and appreciation, the film is not doing well at the box office yet. At the same time, Taapsee Pannu questioned why the same actors are being chosen for the same roles. This is Taapsee's third collaboration with Anubhav Sinha. They have collaborated in the past for "Mulk" and "Thappad."

During a conversation with Galatta Plus, Taapsee Pannu revealed that she has questioned several leading directors about the repetitive casting choices in their films. The actress said it's difficult.

It's difficult for people, not just me, to imagine because we live so comfortably within our own imaginations. "Okay, this is this kind of role, so it'll be fine." No one wants to think outside the box.
