Taapsee Pannu to star in a pan-Indian sci-fi film tentatively titled Alien?

Taapsee Pannu has already bagged some of the most interesting scripts and now we hear that yet another interesting project is going her way. According to reports on E-Times, Taapsee will be next seen in a pan-Indian sci-fi film, which is tentatively titled Alien.

Taapsee is offered this exciting project which will be directed by Barath Neelakantan, who made his debut with thriller K-13 in 2019 starring Arulnithi and Shraddha Srinath. This time he has a sci-fi project and he has already narrated this pan-India concept to Taapsee Pannu. A source reveals more to E-Times saying, “It will be a science-fiction film that deals with aliens; in fact, its title will be Alien. But the story will be a totally fresh take on the genre. It will not have any influences of the many Hollywood alien films we have seen so far. The director has come up with a premise that explores how aliens might be in a country like India.”

Revealing more details about the film, the report suggests that the film will be shot in multiple languages and will be a film heavy on visual effects and hence it will involve extensive pre-production. It’s reported that Rs 10 crore is the budget for the visual effects alone and they are planning to rope in technicians only from India. 

Taapsee Pannu meanwhile is going to soon start shooting for Shabaash Mithu, her next film Haseen Dilruba with Vikrant Massey and Harshwardhan Rane is up for release on OTT this July. And the actress even has several other projects in the pipeline like Rashmi Rocket, Looop Lapeta and Do-Barah.
