Thappad may be weeks away from release, but director Anubhav Sinha wears a look of contentment that probably comes from the knowledge that he has made a good film. Talking about the film director Anubhav shared, "I have made this film for men, not women. We are trying to figure out the audience while some media persons will be invited, the rest will be local artists from the world of literature and music. I chose Lucknow as one of the cities because we shot the film there and I love the city," explains the director.                                      

"This film is about the relationship that men and women share, in and outside their marriages. It tackles a plethora of issues that have unfortunately been normalized. A whole lot of us indulge in gaslighting without realizing it. In order to correct our behaviour, we need to first know that it is incorrect," he added.
