Thappad is this year's Pink: Taapsee
Actor Taapsee Pannu feels her forthcoming starrer Thappad is reminiscent of her critically-acclaimed 2016 multiplex hit, Pink, which sledgehammered the message that when a woman says no, she means no.
“Working with Anubhav sir is always an enriching experience and he encourages one to push the envelope. When he discussed Thappad, I immediately decided this was a film I had to do. It has a thought provoking storyline and deals with a subject, which must be addressed in our society.
The film is directed by Anubhav Sinha. It also features Dia Mirza and Pavail Gulati. Thappad is scheduled to release on February 28.
‘So much has been said about Kangana, me and some kind of rivalry. But at every public event we've greeted each other graciously. As a filmmaker, I respect her talent and craft. She is an actor who has proved her mettle. Besides Ekta and Adnan Sami, I am honoured to receive the Padma Shri alongside Kangana.’

Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Shikara has taken inspiration from real-life incidents of Kashmiri Pandits.
It brings back the untold story of Kashmiri pandits from the valley of 1990 and has 40,000 real migrants of Jagti and other camps who actually shot for the film.
The film also has actual footage from the exodus included which brings it even closer to reality.
The trailers have been widely appreciated for its storyline and the gut-wrenching portions from the pages of history. The film releases on February 7.
Bieber feared he would cheat on wife
Singer Justin Bieber questioned whether or not he would be able to commit and stay faithful to his wife Hailey Baldwin before he proposed to her.
“I was extremely nervous. I felt like in the past, we had talked about... me asking the question, and I felt like she would say yes,” he said.
Bieber added, “So I wasn't really nervous about the saying yes, but I think I was more nervous about ‘Am I going to make this commitment?' Am I able to make this commitment as a man and be able to honour because that's something serious. When you say you're gonna love someone for better or for worse and be faithful, that's huge. Am I able to do that? And, so I think that was really what I was battling with.”
