Actress Taapsee Pannu has alleged that the commercial failure of Alia Bhatt's 'Alpha' led to investors withdrawing support from her own upcoming female-led films.
Pannu criticized the industry's double standards, noting that female-driven action movies face significantly higher scrutiny and financial risk than male-led counterparts.
She emphasized the need for consistent support for diverse storytelling, arguing that individual project failures should not jeopardize the funding of other women-centric cinema.
