Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Taapsee Pannu took no fee for this film, calling it her 'debt to cinema.' The slap itself was filmed in one take to capture genuine shock.
Released weeks before India's COVID lockdown, it sparked viral debates about 'just a slap' — with male critics calling it 'divorce porn' while women shared eerily similar stories.
