Mulk (2018), directed by Anubhav Sinha, marked a significant shift in his career as he chose to prioritize stories with a social message over those motivated by commercial success. Featuring performances by Rishi Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, and Prateik Babbar, this courtroom drama represented a revival in the director's creative path. This period has been dubbed "Anubhav Sinha 2.0," which has led to a succession of critically lauded social and political dramas, such as Article 15, Thappad, Anek, and Bheed. Seven years later, he is once again involved with the judicial system, currently developing a project that echoes the themes of Mulk.

Anubhav Sinha’s new courtroom drama with Taapsee Pannu

According to reports from Peeping Moon, Sinha is directing a courtroom drama featuring Pannu in the lead role. The filmmaker aims to counter the trend of unnecessary sequels with this new project, which, while sharing certain themes with Mulk, is not being promoted as Mulk 2. His previous works have consistently aimed to confront pressing social issues and deliver thought-provoking messages to viewers. This film is expected to follow that same path. Audiences can look forward to another audacious story from Sinha, reflecting his characteristic courage in addressing topics that many in the industry tend to shy away from.

Mulk and Thappad The upcoming film will be the third installment featuring Pannu and directed by Sinha. Casting for other significant roles is currently underway; however, the ensemble already comprises esteemed actors Kumud Mishra and Manoj Pahwa, both of whom have collaborated with the director on multiple projects. Sinha will produce the film under his Benaras Media Works banner. Production is anticipated to commence in Delhi in April.

Taapsee Pannu’s upcoming projects

Filming for Pannu's forthcoming action movie, Gandhari, which is set in India and will be released on Netflix, is nearing completion. Following this, she will commence work on Sinha's project. In the film, written by Kanika Dhillon, the actress will take on the role of a determined mother in pursuit of her kidnapped daughter. Additionally, this year will witness the premiere of her romantic comedy, Woh Ladki Hai Kahan, featuring Pratik Gandhi as her co-star.
