Actress Taapsee Pannu said that she feels Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has been unduly given more credit than her for their recent hit, Badla.

"Even when I do films like Badla, I had more working days or scenes so to say than Mr. Bachchan. He was the hero of the film, I was the antagonist. But the antagonist has more presence in the film than the protagonist. But eventually the film releases, they call it an Amitabh Bachchan film," Taapsee said.

"Yes, when I raise my voice and say I've done almost equal if not more, that's when people recognised and started taking my name because it's such a male-dominated industry, they don't even realise that I might have done more work actually. It was called Sir's film, it won't be called a female film regardless of the fact that I have more scenes. It will be called an Amitabh Bachchan film and the credit will go there," Taapsee said on Neha Dhupia's show, according to a report in pinkvilla.com

Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, Badla hit the screens on March 8 this year. The film also starred Amrita Singh and Manav Kaul in the pivotal roles.

Taapsee Pannu will now be seen in Anubhav Sinha's upcoming film Thappad. Amitabh Bachchan, on the other hand, has Jhund, Chehre and Gulabo Sitabo in his kitty.
