Earlier
this
week,
Taapsee
Pannu
shared
the
first
poster
of
her
forthcoming
release,
Thappad,
followed
by
the
unveiling
of
the
trailer
yesterday.
While
the
trailer
has
received
a
lot
of
love,
twitter
is
not
happy
with
the
film's
poster.
A
fan
pointed
out
on
social
media
how
the
poster
has
been
copied
from
a
Mexican
film.
The
twitter
user
shared
posters
the
2012
release,
After
Lucia,
alongside
the
poster
of
Taapsee
Pannu's
Thappad,
to
point
out
the
striking
resemblance
between
the
two.
Both
posters
show,
the
leading
lady
being
slapped
on
their
left
cheek,
with
their
hair
while
in
the
hair.
Taapsee
is
known
to
slam
trolls
and
is
often
referred
to
as
'the
one
who
always
has
a
befitting
response'.
To
mock
the
makers
and
the
actress,
the
twitter
caption
read,
"Befitting
response
to
After
Lucia
Poster
by
Tapsee
Didi
#ThappadTrailer
#Thappad"
Another
film
poster
that
caught
similar
attention
this
week
was
Vicky
Kaushal's
much-awaited
horror
film,
Bhoot
Part
One:
The
Haunted
Ship.
Many
took
to
twitter
and
pointed
out,
that
the
poster
is
similar
to
critically-acclaimed
Malayalam
film
Jallikattu.
While
others
slammed
the
makers
for
unable
to
come
up
with
something
original.
Thappad,
has
also
caught
quite
the
buzz
due
to
its
storyline.
The
film
directed
by
Anubhav
Sinha
comes
after
the
controversy
over
Kabir
Singh's
infamous
slap
scene.
Many
netizens
have
also
claimed
the
film
is
a
response
to
director
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga.
Post-release,
Sandeep
had
tired
justify
Shahid
Kapoor's
character
slapping
Kiara
Advani's
character,
as
an
expression
of
love.
Produced
by
Anubhav
Sinha
and
Bhushan
Kumar,
Thappad
will
release
on
February
28,
2020.
