Taapsee Pannu, Anurag Kashyap resume shooting for Do Baaraa days after IT department raids

Actress Taapsee Pannu and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap have resumed shooting for their second collaboration, Do Baaraa, three days after income tax department officials raided their residences, among other locations. 

Kashyap on Saturday afternoon tweeted a photo that captured a light-hearted behind-the-scenes moment to announce the resumption of the shoot.

The income tax department has also raided the residences of two of Kashyap's partners — producer Madhu Mantena and filmmaker Vikas Bahl — with whom the Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012) director had established the now-dissolved film production and distribution company Phantom Films.

Today, Pannu broke her silence on the income tax department's raid in a series of tweets.

In the first tweet, she said, "Three days of intense search. Of three things primarily: 1. The keys of the 'alleged' bungalow that I apparently own in Paris. Because summer holidays are around the corner."

In another tweet, she wrote, "2. The "alleged" receipt worth 5 crores to frame n keep for future pitching coz I've been refused that money before".  

In the last tweet, Pannu wrote, "3. My memory of 2013 raid that happened with me according to our honourable finance minister P.S- "not so sasti" anymore."

The final tweet was a reference to comments made by Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman where she claimed that the actress was subject to a raid in 2013. Pannu has denied this.  

The income tax department has claimed that it is looking into tax and income discrepancies totalling Rs650 crore in connection with the raids.
