Recently, the movie bagged two big nominations at the prestigious 14^th Asian Film Awards for ‘Best Film’ and ‘Best Editing’. The 14^th Asian Film Awards will see a total of 39 films from 11 countries and regions which are nominated for awards. It will present 16 awards recognising artistic and technical achievements in Asian cinema. For the first time ever, the awards presentation will align with the ‘Busan International Film Festival’. Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the awards presentation will be broadcast online. The 14th Asian Film Awards nominations were released last week. Sharing his excitement, the director of ‘Thappad’ said, “When I was working on Thappad, I didn’t know that the thought or the messaging of the film would be accepted and appreciated so well, even globally. It’s only when I spoke to my non-Indian friends based in the USA, Germany, Taiwan, and Malaysia, that I got to know about it.”

“I was actually planning to base the backdrop of the movie in a non-metro but the women members of my team informed me that the issue is prevalent in cities and upper-middle-class families too,” Anubhav Sinha added. He also shared a tweet, “Look at the company THAPPAD is in.  Yayyyy!!!” Stay tuned for the latest updates!
