Elaborating on the experience of making Thappad, Anubhav Sinha said, `Thappad has been a challenging experience for me and It's something that I am immensely proud of. The movie tackles a plethora of issues of domestic violence that have unfortunately been normalised. A whole lot of us indulge in gaslighting without realising it. And, in order to correct our behaviour, we need to first know that it is incorrect. We have worked hard to encapsulate the right messaging and emotion throughout our film; it is important, now more than ever for the film and what it stands for, to reach as many people as possible. The response so far has been phenomenal. I am grateful to be a part of an era where storytelling as well as audiences, are evolved enough to embrace such movies that are against the tide. With the World Television Premiere on Zee Cinema, we hope to bring a change in the mindset of the people about this crucial issue that people take for granted.`
