The project reunites Taapsee with her Mulk director Anubhav Sinha.”Working with Anubhav sir is always an enriching experience and he encourages one to push the envelope. When he discussed Thappad, I immediately decided this was a film I had to do. It has a thought-provoking storyline and deals with a subject that must be addressed in our society. To put it in perspective, looking at what we aim to convey with our film, I can say Thappad is this year’s Pink,” Taapsee, 32, said in a statement.
Just a day back, the poster of the film released which read, "Bas itni si baat?" In the caption of the post, Taapsee asked in Hindi if a slap is insignificant and if it was a fair thing to do in love. "Kya yeh bas itni si baat hai? Kya pyaar mein ye bhi jayaz hai? it said.
