Taapsee Pannu on working with Kanika Dhillon

"There's a special kind of magic that happens when Kanika and I come together to work on a film," Taapsee Pannu shares. "With 'Gandhari', we're venturing into new emotional depths, and I'm thrilled to explore this intense character. I did action 9 years ago, and I've been waiting for a script that would bring me back to it and challenge me in new ways. After playing a spy, I was searching for something deeper, and 'Gandhari', with its powerful story of a mother driven by revenge, felt like the perfect fit. Collaborating with Netflix and Kathha Pictures allows us to craft bold, unique, and impactful stories. Working with Netflix has always been rewarding, as it enables us to reach a broader audience who shares our passion for filmmaking."

Netflix has given us the freedom to push creative boundaries and present this story in its truest form. I'm very excited for our audiences to experience this emotionally charged, action-packed, thrilling saga - 'Gandhari'!"
