Mumbai buzzes with anticipation as Taapsee Pannu gears up for her latest project with director Anubhav Sinha, the upcoming film ‘Assi’. Having collaborated on hard-hitting movies like ‘Mulk’, ‘Thappad’, and ‘Article 15’, Pannu can’t contain her excitement for this courtroom drama.
In a recent interview, the actress showered praise on Sinha’s unique ability to weave real-life truths into compelling narratives. ‘Anubhav’s films are mirrors to society,’ she said. ‘He presents stories with such authenticity and simplicity that they hit you hard and stay with you.’
Pannu highlighted how Sinha transforms ordinary tales into powerful cinematic experiences. Whether it’s the intense legal battles in ‘Mulk’ and ‘Assi’ or the social commentaries in ‘Thappad’ and ‘Article 15’, his storytelling feels effortlessly real. ‘He makes truth impossible to ignore,’ she added.
What sets Sinha apart, according to Pannu, is his knack for elevating everyday stories. Actors feel secure in his hands because his scripts and scenes are crafted to perfection. ‘The dialogues and moments he provides are like candy in a shop for performers,’ she quipped. No actor has ever underperformed in his films, thanks to the solid material he delivers.
‘Assi’ boasts a stellar cast including Kani Kusruti in the lead alongside Pannu, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub. Special appearances by Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa add extra star power.
Produced by T-Series and Benaras Media Works, with Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Anubhav Sinha at the helm, the film promises another Sinha masterpiece. Mark your calendars for February 20, when ‘Assi’ hits theaters nationwide.
