Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Assi’ trailer has dropped, offering a raw glimpse into a tale of perseverance against systemic wrongs. The director, celebrated for Thappad and Mulk, crafts another impactful story on women’s struggles and sidelined societal issues.
Pannu stars as a tenacious attorney in this riveting preview, battling for fairness through swift inquiries and moral confrontations. At 2:52, it starts unsettlingly, with Kani Kusruti at its emotional center, compelling viewers to ponder justice, accountability, and legacy.
Supporting cast features Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, elevated by special cameos from Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa. It’s a stark reflection of overlooked darkness.
Producer Bhushan Kumar affirmed, ‘T-Series supports worthy tales. ‘Assi’ unveils truths authentically, thanks to Anubhav and Taapsee.’ Sinha commented, ‘It strikes at the heart, from real-life news we ignore. Taapsee embodies it perfectly.’
Pannu voiced her passion: ‘Now’s the moment for such stories. Crimes aren’t everyday norms; they’re tied to our quietude. The shoot was emotionally draining, facing reality.’ Brought to life by T-Series, Gulshan Kumar, and Banaras Media Works, produced by Bhushan, Krishna Kumar, and Sinha, ‘Assi’ screens from February 20.
