Taapsee Pannu came back with another grounded drama, Assi, the much-anticipated drama from Anubhav Sinha. The official trailer was released on 4 February 2026 with a strong public reaction, showing a gritty, intense story where Taapsee was seen in a fierce and compelling role. The film is also exciting since Taapsee and Anubhav Sinha who previously worked together on Mulk and Thappad, reunited with a drama that is inspired by everyday news stories and real-world struggles.
Assi: A Powerful Plot
The drama where Pannu is playing Advocate Assi is about a passionate lawyer determined to fight against injustice in a system that prefers the powerful over the needy. The story is not inspired by just one story but by the everyday struggle of people in headlines making their way to the courtroom for justice only to get sidelined by the court.
The trailer showcases a hard-hitting courtroom scene, emotional confrontations and tense verbal exchanges that highlight issues such as corruption, inequality, assault and the struggle for truth. Assi’s determination and intellect for justice set a dramatic, real-world narrative tone.
Cast and Performances
Beside Taapsee in the lead, Assi includes talented actors such as Zeeshan Ayyub, well-known for his intense screen presence that adds depth to the legal world character. Kani Kusruti is another important part of the show that brings out the emotional side to solidify the film’s tone and message. The cast is expected to enhance the overall essence of this real-life courtroom and legal struggle film.
Taapsee’s courtroom speeches and intense debates between lawyers, the judge and the opposing party earned viewers’ praise for their urgent tone and Pannu’s intense and bold performance.
Director’s Vision
Assi is not the first movie deeply rooted with social messages; Anubhav has done plenty of movies that blend both entertainment and social messages, such as Mulk, Thappad and Article 19. Assi is no different; it is deeply rooted in justice, equality, and the human struggle for justice.
With Assi, Anubhav is again aiming to get the spotlight on common people’s unheard struggles, using the courtroom to explore truth, prejudice and power.
Release Date & Audience Buzz
Audiences all across social media are strongly appreciating the trailer launch, praising Taapsee’s powerful performance and calling the film one of the most highly anticipated films of this year. While the exact date has not been announced yet, it is expected to hit theatres later in 2026 with its promotion starting soon in the coming months.
With Assi Taapsee and Anubhav reunited to bring strong performances, an intense legal battle and a social theme that would make it the most compelling work of this year.
