Taapsee Pannu is impressed by how a bunch of six young girls from a small town near Karnataka's Mangalore district thought of starting an eatery joint after watching 2016 film - Pink. And now, Taapsee has decided to sponsor the eatery, which has been named Pink Cafe. The eatery joint will employ only women in pursuit to send a positive message to have women pledge for equal rights especially in smaller towns.

In a statement, Taapsee revealed, `When I heard of the idea, I was impressed how a film can turn into an inspiration at so many levels. It's rewarding when someone takes a positive impact of a film and converts that into reality with an initiative like this cafe for instance. I heard the idea and instead of just encouraging them I wanted to do more. And thus I did my bit by contributing to the cafe and I can only wish luck to them and hope to encourage more such initiatives in the future.`

Pink is a courtroom drama, which also features Amitabh Bachchan, Kirti Kulhari, Angad Bedi, Andrea Tariang and Piyush Mishra. The film was appreciated by both the public and the critics for its strong socially relevant message about the choices young women of today make and about respecting them.

On the professional front, Taapsee is awaiting the release of her next film - Naam Shabana which also features Akshay Kumar. Currently, she is also shooting along with Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez for Judwaa 2.
