As
one
of
the
most
talked-about
films
on
the
social
media,
Thappad
inches
towards
the
theatres,
actor
Kumud
Mishra
showers
praises
on
Taapsee
Pannu
and
director
Anubhav
Sinha.
Kumud
Mishra,
who
portrays
the
role
of
Taapsee's
on-screen
father,
lauds
the
actress
and
tells
Ahmedabad
Mirror,
"She
is
instinctive;
her
acting
process
keeps
changing
with
the
moment,
just
like
mine.
She
is
a
fantastic
actress
and
I
have
never
seen
her
in
a
role
like
this.
Thappad
is
one
of
her
finest
works."
When
asked
what
made
him
say
'yes'
to
Thappad,
he
said
'the
brilliant
script'.
Hinting
at
domestic
violence,
Kumud
adds,
"We
pretend
that
it
isn't
happening,
but
it
is
and
unfortunately
is
considered
normal."
Directed
by
Anubhav
Sinha,
Thappad
throws
light
on
domestic
violence
and
how
the
domestic
violence
is
not
only
associated
with
uneducated
families.
Kumud
Mishra,
who
has
earlier
worked
with
Anubhav
Sinha
in
Mulk
and
Article
15,
raves
about
the
director
and
asserts
that
despite
sharing
a
close
bond
with
him,
he
likes
to
maintain
a
distance
from
him
to
allow
the
space
for
dialogue.
Kumud
Mishra
says,
"For
an
actor,
he
is
a
wonderful
director
as
he
gives
us
creative
freedom
and
is
open
to
discussion.
Unka
alag
hi
jadoo
hai.
I'd
drop
everything
to
take
up
a
role
if
he
made
the
offer."
Thappad,
which
marks
the
second
collaboration
of
Anubhav
and
Taapsee
after
Mulk,
is
all
set
to
hit
the
theatres
on
February
28,
2020.
The
film
also
casts
Dia
Mirza,
Pavail
Gulati,
Ratna
Pathak
Shah,
Manav
Kaul
and
Tanvi
Azim
in
the
key
roles.
