A tribute to womanhood

Anubhav Sinha’s Article 15 is continuing to make waves at the box-office, but the director has already moved on to his next. Shared Sinha, “It’s a film called Thappad and it’s a subject based on women’s empowerment. I can’t reveal anything more, but that it’s my first subject based on a female protagonist. Tapsee Pannu plays the lead. I became enamoured of the idea of working with her again after she did Mulk with me. She is so comfortable to work with and such a powerful actress without overdoing anything. Tapsee and Ayushmann Khurrana are my favourites.”

When asked about whether we will get to see Ayushmann in Thappad as well, Sinha added, “There is no scope for him in Thappad. The cast will mostly comprise women. This film is my homage to womanhood. It will release on International Women’s Day 2020. All I can tell you on record is that it will be even more hard-hitting than Mulk and Article 15.”c
