Taapsee Pannu is quite psyched up about the upcoming film. Talking about in detail, the talented actress says, “Working with Anubhav sir is always an enriching experience and he encourages one to push the envelope.

Adding further, Pannu says, “To put it in perspective, looking at what we aim to convey with our film, I can say Thappad is this year’s Pink (2016).”

Besides Taapsee Pannu, Thappad also boasts the presence of several experienced actors on its ensemble cast, including Ratna Pathak Shah, Manav Kaul, Dia Mirza, Tanvi Azmi and Ram Kapoor.
