About Assi

The film follows Parima (Kani), a married woman living in Delhi who is abducted and sexually assaulted by a group of men. The film tracks the traumatic aftermath, focusing on the police investigation and the subsequent legal battle. Taapsee plays her lawyer. Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub, Manoj Pahwa, Seema Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Revathy round out the cast of Assi. Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa have special appearances.

Talking about the film, Anubhav Sinha said to PTI that he considers films like Assi to be "real mainstream cinema" because they tell stories relevant to the audience's lives. "In my view, this cinema (referring to films like 'Assi') is the future of Hindi cinema. These are the films that will run the engine, that will make the other mainstream cinema. I call it the other mainstream cinema as this is the real mainstream cinema as it is their story, it's happening a kilometer around us," he said.
