Actress Taapsee Pannu says she broke down while shooting for her upcoming film "Pink" because of its heart-wrenching subject.
The Delhi-set emotional thriller also stars megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
"It ('Pink') was easiest because I belong to this place (Delhi) and difficult because it (subject) was heart-wrenching," Taapsee said at the trailer launch of "Pink" here.
"The two months that I was shooting for the film I was not doing anything else except this movie. I had a breakdown on the sets as well. I started feeling for my character. It was extremely impactful. It did affect me personally and was very challenging," she said.
The 29-year-old actress feels "Pink", which is produced by Shoojit Sircar, will prove to be a landmark in her career.
"I did 'Baby' and now 'Pink'... That perception (of cute and bubbly) changed. I don't think people today look at me as cute and bubbly Taapsee. It will be a landmark film in my career."
