Taapsee Pannu’s latest release “Thappad” has won critical acclaim as well as a positive response from the film fraternity. The film has started a conversation on domestic violence from an entirely new perspective among niche viewers, and director Anubhav Sinha feels overwhelmed by all the love.
“The last time I started getting thousands of good words was after the release of ‘Article 15′. I ran away to Gulmarg, to the mountains where there was no network! I get scared of such love where people come out of the theatre and say, ‘this is the best work of Anubav Sinha till date’. I feel the pressure and wonder what will I do next. Now I think I cannot deliver anything that is average,” Sinha told IANS.
He added: “It is not easy to deliver a good film and take the expectation of the audience one level higher every time. I am overwhelmed and pressured. I cannot deal with so much love! Thank you so much (to the audience) but I want to disappear!” the filmmaker said, with a deep breath.

Starting his career on television, Anubhav directed basic commercial stuff in Bollywood during his early phase, which saw releases such as “Tum Bin” (2001), “Dus” (2005), “Tathastu” (2006), “Cash” (2007) and “Ra.One” (2011). His turnaround film was “Mulk” in 2018, followed by “Article 15” last year and “Thappad” now.
