Taapsee Pannu received a rather special wish for her new film Looop Lapeta on its release day. German actor Franka Potente, star of Run Lola Run, the film of which Looop Lapeta is the official remake, sent a video message for Taapsee and the team of the film.

Taapsee herself shared the video message from Franka on Twitter on Friday. In the brief selfie video, the 47-year-old actor said, “Hi guys, this is Franka. I think it is so exciting that you are shooting a remake of Run Lola Run after all these years. I’m honoured. I think it’s very cool. I just wanted to wish you good luck.”

The actor had a special message for Taapsee, who is reprising the role she originally played. “Good luck to Taapsee. I’m sure you will be amazing and I can’t wait to see the film,” she said in the video.

An excited Taapsee shared the video, writing, “This makes it special looooooop number of times! Thank you, Franka! It’s launch day for #LooopLapeta & here we have the OG Savi, loooped along to win our hearts #LooopLapeta streaming from today on #Netflix.”

Looop Lapeta is the official Hindi remake of Run Lola Run, the 1998 German experimental thriller. The film follows a woman named Lola (played by Franka) who needs to obtain 100,000 Deutschmarks in 20 minutes to save the life of her boyfriend Manni. It received critical acclaim and has acquired a cult status among film fans over the years.
