About Assi
Assi marks the third collaboration for Pannu and Sinha after their work in 2018’s Mulk and Thappad, which released in 2020. The film features Kani Kusruti in the role of a rape survivor, whereas Pannu essays the role of her lawyer. The film revolves around a Delhi woman’s quest for justice following a violent sexual assault, and focuses on the obstacles faced during the police and court proceedings.
The film boasts an ensemble cast including Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub, Kumud Mishra, Revathi, Manoj Pahwa, Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa. It is produced by T-Series and Sinha.
Assi, which means 80 in Hindi, is the number of cases that are reported every day and the director believes while the figure is disturbing, it is just the tip of the iceberg. “This is the number of cases that are reported every day. There is no count of those that are hidden on a daily basis. This number in itself was so shocking when we calculated it because every 18 to 20 minutes, something like this takes place. By the time you and I finish talking about it, a woman would have already been exploited,” he told PTI in an interview.
