Makers of the upcoming courtroom drama ‘Assi’ have unveiled a gripping trailer that promises to deliver a powerful punch. Directed by the acclaimed Anubhav Sinha, known for hard-hitting films like Thappad and Mulk, the teaser sets the stage for a narrative that confronts everyday injustices and overlooked atrocities against women.
Taapsee Pannu takes center stage as a relentless lawyer fighting for justice in a system riddled with flaws. The 2-minute-52-second trailer opens on a tense note, showcasing her character’s unyielding pursuit amid courtroom battles and moral dilemmas. Kani Kusruti anchors the emotional heart, drawing viewers into a story that questions societal accountability and the future of generations to come.
The ensemble cast boasts Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in pivotal roles, with special appearances from Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa adding star power. This isn’t just a legal thriller; it’s a mirror to the dark truths we often ignore.
Producer Bhushan Kumar emphasized T-Series’ commitment to meaningful stories. ‘Assi captures raw realities with authenticity. Taapsee’s honest performance and Anubhav’s direction make it a thought-provoker,’ he said. Director Sinha added that the film digs deep into issues pulled from daily headlines, praising Taapsee’s fit for the role.
Taapsee herself shared her emotional journey: ‘These stories need to be told now. Crimes around us aren’t normal; our silence fuels them. Working on this made me confront harsh truths.’ Produced by T-Series and Banaras Media Works, ‘Assi’ hits theaters on February 20, urging audiences to reflect and act.
