The anticipation for Anubhav Sinha’s next directorial venture ‘Assi’ has skyrocketed after Taapsee Pannu shared its chilling motion poster on social media. Following their successful partnerships in ‘Mulk’ and ‘Thappad’, this duo is set to deliver yet another thought-provoking film centered on justice and societal wrongs.
Taapsee’s Instagram post on Friday not only showcased the poster’s raw intensity but also confirmed the film’s theatrical release on February 20. Portraying a tenacious lawyer, Taapsee’s character emerges as a beacon of hope in what appears to be a high-stakes thriller.
Crafted with edge-of-your-seat visuals, the motion poster depicts a frantic chase on train tracks—a vulnerable girl fleeing from aggressors. Taapsee then strides in, her face marked with blood, lawyer’s robes flowing, symbolizing unyielding resolve. The poignant tagline ‘That night, she didn’t make it home’ sets a haunting tone, suggesting themes of tragedy, pursuit, and legal reckoning.
Backed by T-Series, ‘Assi’ boasts an impressive lineup including Kani Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Jisha Ayub, Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa. This stellar cast promises layered performances in a narrative expected to grip courtrooms and audiences alike.
As Taapsee and Sinha reunite for their third project, memories of ‘Mulk’ and ‘Thappad’s’ triumphs fuel expectations. However, February 20 brings a showdown with ‘Do Diwane Shahar Mein’, pitting two major releases against each other. Cinema lovers are in for a treat—and a tough choice.
