The trailer of filmmaker Anubhav Sinha's upcoming movie Thappad is out now, and netizens couldn't help but call it a tight slap on Kabir Singh director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's face.
After the slap scene in his blockbuster film Kabir Singh became the talk of the town, Vanga had said: "When you are deeply in love and deeply connected with a woman, and vice versa, there's a lot of honesty in it. If you don't have that physical demonstration... you don't have the liberty of slapping each other, then I don't see anything there."
