Actor Taapsee Pannu revealed on Sunday that he was reluctant to star in Looop Lapeta, the upcoming remake of the German film Run Lola Run, but changed his mind courtesy of the creators’ faith in it. Looking back at the movie’s journey, Taapsee Pannu wrote in an Instagram post that she was sure she wouldn’t make the movie when she started listening to the script, but by the end of the narration, she had changed her mind.
Looop Lapeta, also starring Tahir Raj Bhasin, has been directed by Aakash Bhatia and produced by Sony Pictures Films India, Ellipsis Entertainment and Aayush Maheshwari. Shooting for the movie wrapped up on Sunday.
“I ran after some movies and luckily some just fell into my lap. This (Loop Lapeta) is the last one, I couldn’t be more grateful to these guys and the lucky line in my palm. From entering the narrative with the idea of saying No, to leaving it with an immediate Yes, thanks to these gentlemen for hanging on to a solid script and concept for years and being more sure that I am Savi than I was, “he wrote Taapsee alongside a picture of herself with Aayush Maheshwari and Atul Kasbekar and Tanuj Garg from Ellipsis Entertainment.
Run Lola Run starring Franka Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu. Taapsee takes Franka’s shoes and her character is called Savi. In a previous post about the film, Taapsee had written: “When you’re between 2 perspectives, in the middle of the wired chaos and what you do in the frame is going to matter… Raise your head, lift your feet and just focus! Because not everyone has this privilege. (Also because the man with the lens who becomes a producer is clicking on you) “.
Looop Lapeta is scheduled to release later this year.
