Actor Taapsee Pannu does not believe Thappad is an antidote to Shahid Kapoor-starrer "Kabir Singh", but she says the movie definitely opposes physical abuse in the name of love. Kabir Singh, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, was one of the biggest grossers of 2019, but the film received flak for its misogynistic gaze and normalising violence in a relationship.
