Mumbai’s film scene is buzzing with excitement as Taapsee Pannu unveils the gripping motion poster for her upcoming courtroom thriller ‘Assi’. Directed by the acclaimed Anubhav Sinha, known for hits like ‘Mulk’ and ‘Thappad’, the film promises another powerful narrative tackling social injustices.
On Friday, Taapsee took to Instagram to drop the intense motion poster, simultaneously announcing the release date. Fans, who have long admired her nuanced performances in previous collaborations with Sinha, are already counting down the days. In ‘Assi’, Taapsee steps into the shoes of a fierce lawyer, ready to battle for justice.
The poster is a visual stunner: a young girl sprints desperately along railway tracks, pursued by a menacing crowd. Suddenly, Taapsee appears, blood splattered on her face, clad in a lawyer’s attire, exuding determination. The tagline, ‘That night, she didn’t make it home,’ hints at a dark, compelling story of pursuit and retribution.
Speculation is rife that ‘Assi’ will be a tense courtroom drama delving into grave societal issues, much like Sinha’s previous works. Produced by T-Series, the ensemble cast is a powerhouse: Kani Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Jisha Ayub, Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa, all bringing their A-game to the screen.
This marks the third outing for the Taapsee-Sinha duo, following the critically and commercially successful ‘Mulk’ and ‘Thappad’. ‘Assi’ hits theaters on February 20, clashing directly with ‘Do Diwane Shahar Mein’ starring Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi. As the release approaches, the battle for box office supremacy intensifies—who will win the audience’s heart?
