Mumbai buzzes with anticipation as director Anubhav Sinha ramps up excitement for his upcoming film ‘Assi’. The filmmaker, known for hard-hitting social dramas, took to Instagram to share the motion poster and announce the trailer drop. ‘Sometimes I wonder which headlines we pick and why. Trailer out Tuesday at 11 AM. Don’t miss it. Some headlines you can’t ignore. Assi is a crucial film hitting theaters February 20,’ he captioned.
‘Assi’ continues Sinha’s legacy of thought-provoking cinema seen in ‘Mulk’, ‘Thappad’, and ‘Article 15’. This social thriller dives into investigative drama and courtroom intrigue, challenging viewers on societal truths, justice systems, and overlooked news stories. Producers promise a raw confrontation with reality.
Leading the cast is Taapsee Pannu in a fierce central role, marking her third collaboration with Sinha after powerful turns in ‘Mulk’ and ‘Thappad’. Her intense performance hints at another career-defining portrayal. Joining her are Kan Kanwaruti, Revathi, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in key roles. Special appearances by Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa add star power.
Scripted by Gaurav Solanki, ‘Assi’ is produced under Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Anubhav Sinha’s banners. The trailer already played in theaters with ‘Border 2’, but the digital premiere awaits Tuesday morning. Fans are urged not to skip this one—Sinha insists it’s essential viewing that questions what we choose to see.
