Fresh off her acclaimed roles, Taapsee Pannu has ignited hype for ‘Assi’ with a riveting motion poster release via Instagram. Helmed by Anubhav Sinha, the film reunites the pair behind ‘Mulk’ and ‘Thappad’, signaling another hard-hitting exploration of real-world dilemmas through a legal lens.
The Friday announcement packed a punch, revealing February 20 as the big-screen debut. Taapsee embodies a battle-hardened lawyer, a role tailor-made for her reputation of championing strong women.
Visually arresting, the poster captures a heart-pounding sequence: a girl dashes across rails, hunted by shadows. Taapsee enters dramatically, bloodied yet unbroken in her professional garb. ‘That night, she didn’t make it home’—the tagline whispers a tale of loss and the fierce quest for accountability.
Likely a riveting courtroom saga addressing profound social concerns, ‘Assi’ is produced by T-Series with a dream team: alongside Taapsee are Kani Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Jisha Ayub, Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa.
This third collaboration builds on the blockbuster legacy of their prior films. Yet, the release calendar spells competition, as ‘Assi’ locks horns with ‘Do Diwane Shahar Mein’ on the same date, starring Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi. The stage is set for an epic clash at the box office.
