Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha in on a high! His last two movies – Mulk (2018) and Article 15 (2019) – did not only appeal to a large section of the society, but also made money at the box-office. Buoyed up by the great success of his last outings, the director has taken up yet another hard-hitting subject for his next directorial venture, Thappad.
Thappad reunites the filmmaker with versatile actress Taapsee Pannu after their 2018 release Mulk. The latest update on the casting of the movie is that talented film and television actor Ram Kapoor has been signed on to play a pivotal role in it.

Ram Kapoor, who has been in news lately for his inspirational weight loss journey, will work with Anubhav Sinha for the first time in his career. The director took to his Instagram account and shared a picture with Ram Kapoor, welcoming the actor onboard.
Talking about Thappad, Anubhav Sinha had earlier tweeted: “Eleven is an auspicious number and this is my eleventh film and probably the toughest so far. Keep us blessed. This one is dedicated to the women of India. See you Mar 6, 2020.”

Taapsee Pannu, who plays a middle-class girl in the film, had recently shared a monochrome picture with the team. “It’s time again… This one is something that was brewing in all our hearts for years. Using the power cinema has given us to voice what needs to be addressed,” she had captioned the image.
Thappad, produced by Anubhav Sinha and Bhushan Kumar, is scheduled to enter cinemas on 6th March, 2020. Shooting of the film, which is a female-oriented subject that defies narratives typecasting women, has already started.
