Anubhav Sinha and Bhushan Kumar have come together to kickstart a long-term filmmaking association. Thappad, starring Taapsee Pannu, will be the first film project as a part of the multi-fil deal. Thappad will explore the relationship between a man and a woman and gender equality through an enthralling story of a husband and wife.

"I am happy to associate with Anubhav once again. He is not only a gifted filmmaker but also has a great sense of music. He makes movies that are relevant and start conversations among the audience and I am keen to associate with this kind of cinema. With our collective strengths together, we are hoping to deliver some extraordinary, content and musically rich films," Bhushan Kumar of T-Series said in a statement.
