One more day to go and the audience will get to watch Thappad in theatres. This is one of the most talked about films of 2020 and also a thought-provoking movie. When the makers had released the poster, it grabbed audiences’ eyeballs. And then when the film’s trailer was released, we bet, it gave each one of you goosebumps. It was clear that the film revolved around domestic violence and what can happen if couples start taking each other for granted in their married life. The scene where Taapsee Pannu’s onscreen husband Pavail Gulati slaps her became the talking point. In an interview to a leading tabloid, Gulati has revealed the number of takes it took to get that slapping scene right.

In the interview, Pavail Gulati revealed that it is through Anubhav Sinha that he met Taapsee Pannu and they have never met before that. Talking about the slapping scene, Gulati told Mirror, “I was very nervous before the scene as slapping someone isn’t the nicest thing in the world. While you are already under the pressure of pulling off that scene, then are some technical aspects involved where the slap has to be from the correct angle and have the correct impact. All this took me six takes. And then Taapsee came up to me and said, ‘Just don’t think about anything. Ghumake laga de!’ Finally, we got the seventh one right.” Thappad: Aamir Khan Congratulates Late Actress Reema Lagoo’s Daughter Mrunmayee for the Release of Her First Writing Assignment.
