Last July, Anubhav Sinha announced that he is bringing together prolific filmmakers Sudhir Mishra, Hansal Mehta, Ketan Mehta and Subhash Kapoor for an anthology film set against the backdrop of the pandemic. Among the first to get locked is Mishra’s short film, which will be headlined by Taapsee Pannu. For the actor, the project is a perfect blend of the old and the new — where she has teamed up with Sinha on Mulk (2018) and Thappad (2020), the anthology marks her first collaboration with Mishra.   
 
Pannu, known to straddle diverse genres, is happy to tick one more off her list. “It’s a socio-political drama that spans across two generations. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Sudhir sir who is solid with his craft,” she says. Working under Sinha’s banner is a homecoming of sorts for her. “Anubhav sir knows how to channel the best in me. Being surrounded by such masterful filmmakers is a blessed experience.”
