The Taapsee Pannu & Murli Sharma partnership
From Arrambam (2013) to Tadka (2017). It started with Arrambam (2013).
The shape of the work
Taapsee Pannu acted in every film; Murli Sharma acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- Murli Sharma was the one who pushed Taapsee to take up action training for Naam Shabana. He told her that if she wanted the fight scenes to look real, she had to stop relying on stunt doubles. She took his advice and trained for weeks.
- In Arrambam, Murli played a cold-blooded villain while Taapsee played a sharp journalist. Their only scene together is a tense interrogation — and Murli deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery to make Taapsee's reactions feel more urgent. She matched his pace by holding her breath between lines.
- On the sets of Tadka, Murli would bring homemade South Indian snacks for the crew every Friday. Taapsee later admitted in an interview that she started looking forward to those Fridays more than the shoot itself.
- Taapsee once said about Murli: 'He’s the kind of co-star who will rehearse with you in the vanity van even if you’re not in the scene together. He just wants you to be better.'
- Their only direct face-off scene in Arrambam was so intense that the Tamil version of the film got an extra close-up of Murli's eyes during the climax — a shot that wasn't in the Hindi cut. Tamil audiences still bring up that moment when discussing the film's best villain entries.
