Summary:
Mumbai, Jan 23 (PTI) Actor Taapsee Pannu says she went for the script narration of "Looop Lapeta", the Hindi adaptation of the 1998 German film "Run Lola Run", with an intention to turn it down but was drawn to the central character.The upcoming Hindi thriller, helmed by Aakash Bhatia, follows an adventurous ride through a sticky situation where a girlfriend (Pannu) is on a mission to rescue her boyfriend (Tahir Raj Bhasin).
In the film, Pannu’s character is stuck in a time loop and gets multiple chances to save Bhasin’s life.“I said yes to it (‘Looop Lapeta’) instantly because it was so funny.
Today, it makes you feel that this concept was made for India more than the German classic that it was.
Hence I ended up saying yes.
The film is a clutter-breaking take on new age romance, a genre I am exploring for the first time," the actor told PTI in a Zoom interview.Taapsee said her initial hesitation with the film had to do with the fact that her 2019 film "Game Over" had already employed the time loop concept.“I had done a film called ‘Game Over’, which had something similar in it.
I didn’t want to repeat a concept in another film so I went with the intention to say no.
