MUMBAI: (Feb 19) Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, known for his hard-hitting social dramas, says his new film “Assi” is an attempt to understand the reasons behind rising sexual assault cases in a society that has grown numb to such violence.
Starring Kani Kusruti in the role of a rape survivor and Taapsee Pannu, as her lawyer, the movie narrates the story of a Delhi woman’s quest for justice following a violent sexual assault, and focuses on the obstacles faced during the police and court proceedings.
The title of the film is derived from the statistics that approximately 80 (‘Assi’) rape cases are reported daily in India.
