Why did the second trailer of Thappad get a strike on YouTube?

Taapsee Pannu in Thappad

Anubhav Sinha's upcoming flick, Thappad, starring Taapsee Pannu in the lead role, has been making the right buzz due to its strong and gut-wrenching storyline and take on domestic abuse. The taglines, "Thappad - Bus Itni Si Baat" and "Ek Thappad Par Nahi Maar Sakta" took the nation by storm.

The makers of Thappad recently dropped the second trailer where Taapsee Pannu urged viewers to report the trailer and make it the most reported trailer on the internet. The trailer spread like wildfire and has garnered millions of views already. Owing to the response received by the trailer and due to it being reported, T-Series' YouTube channel has received a strike.

Founder of T-Series, Bhushan Kumar commented on the strike and said, "It is good to see that our message to the audience was conveyed and received well by the audience, receiving a strike is a minor speed bump and we are looking at the big picture. Thappad will be one of the strongest movies of this year and we are glad to be a part of it."

Director Anubhav Sinha shares, "Thappad is a very important project, we have given it our best. The audience's response to the trailer has been phenomenal. Our goal was to get the message out that people should report any kind of abuse that they face. A lot of people have already reported the trailer, making it one of the most reported trailers on the video-sharing platform."

The much-awaited film, Thappad is being produced by Anubhav Sinha and Bhushan Kumar, and will hit the screens on February 28, 2020.
