After Pink, Taapsee Pannu will be seen in yet another female-oriented film that defies stereotypical notions imposed on women. 

According to a report by Mumbai Mirror, the Badla actress will be reuniting with Anubhav Sinha who has directed her in 2018's movies Mulk for another socio-political drama, inspired by true-incidents. 

According to a source close to the newspaper daily, the director's duo wanted to collaborate again after Mulk and Anubhav had Tapsee in mind even when she was hooting for Mulk. The subject of the movie will defy narratives that typecast women. " It questions the society and will deliver a poignant message on world domination by women. Taapsee's protagonist will be  a middle-cast girl. " said the source. 

The movie has been titled Thappad and will go on the floors in late August and will be shot in Delhi.
