Taapsee Pannu on playing Bani
Speaking about her experience working on the film, Taapsee Pannu said, “What stayed with me throughout Gandhari was Bani’s refusal to give up, even when everything seemed stacked against her. The role demanded a great deal physically, but it was her resilience, conviction, and unwavering spirit that truly drew me in.”
Director Devashish Makhija on the film’s vision

Yet, beneath all of the suspense, peril, and action is a universal story of human choices, consequences, and the extraordinary lengths someone can go to for the one they love most.”
