Six years after Thappad sparked nationwide conversations on domestic abuse, Taapsee Pannu reignites the fire with a stirring social media video urging fans to dive into her latest release, Assi. Sharing a poignant video, the actress bridges her past triumph with this fresh collaboration, captioning it: “From Thappad to Assi …… ♥️”
In the video, Taapsee reflects on the films that resonate deeply. She says: “Hi! Kuch filme hoti hain jinke liye messages aate hain kin – What a story! Kuch filme hoti hain jinke liye messages aati hain ki – What an amazing character to play! Aur kuch filme hoti hain jinke liye messages aate hain ke – Thank you for doing this film! Kuch films hoti hain jinke reviews me likha hota ke – What an entertaining watch. Must see! Aur kuch filme hoti hain jinke reviews me consistently ek common baat likhi hoti hai ki – Very uncomfortable – Disgusted, but a must see! – Aisi ek film aayi thi 6 years pehle – Thappad – aur usi director ki fortunately starring me ek aur picture aai hafta pehle – Assi. Itne pyare pyare messages, itne validating review, but most importantly kitne sare logon ne personally liya hai iss issue ko aur kya beautiful articles, videos, maine sab dekhe, sab padhe, shayad aapne bhi padhe honge, dekhe honge. Agar dekhe hain aur padhe hain itne saare toh kuch toh baat hogi. Toh agar aapko lage ki dekhna toh banta hai, ki kaisi picture hai jiske liye itne log itni shiddat se, itne pyar se itne jazbe se likh rahe hain, toh ek baar dekhe. Shayad aapse bhi kuch baat kare ye picture aur agar acchi lage, jaisi bhi lade, likhna zaroor. Main zaroor dekhna chahungi. Coming weekend let’s hope aapke paas thoda samaye ho iss film ko dekhne ke liye thoda uncomfortable kar sakti hai par yaad rahegi. Shayad itni confidence aagaya hai hume ye bolne main. So I hope you give it a shot. Looking forward to all the wonderful write-ups and videos for Assi. Thank you!”
This marks Taapsee’s third collaboration with director Anubhav Sinha, following Mulk and Thappad. Long hailed as the OG protagonist of powerful cinema, she consistently anchors hard-hitting stories with unflinching intensity. Assi continues that legacy, earning rave reviews for her transformative performance. Fans flood social media with praise, calling it “uncomfortably real” and “a must-watch,” while critics applaud its raw emotional depth. As Taapsee urges viewers to experience it, Assi proves her unmatched pull in championing narratives that provoke and linger.
