Mumbai: The trailer of filmmaker Anubhav Sinha's upcoming movie Thappad is out now and netizens couldn't help but call it a "tight slap" right on the face Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director of Kabir Singh.
After the slap scene in his blockbuster hit "Kabir Singh" became a talk of the town, Vanga had said: "When you are deeply in love and deeply connected with a woman, and vice versa, there's a lot of honesty in it. If you don't have that physical demonstration... you don't have the liberty of slapping each other, then I don't see anything there."
His comments didn't go down well with a lot of people. The incident happened last year but netizens got reminded of the whole controversy after watching the trailer of Thappad.
A social media user wrote: "#Thappad is a tight slap on Sandeep Reddy Vanga's face."
Another wrote: "#Thappad #ThappadTrailer Is this 'Thappad' on the face of Sandeep Reddy Vanga? Kabir Singh? Literally in a scene, the character says 1 line (Sarcastically) which Vanga told, Looks promising, Obviously Taapsee Anubhav coming together once again with a thought-provoking story."
Another fellow user wrote: "#KabirSingh #arjunreddy slap scene gave a whole plot idea to #Thappad makers #ThappadTrailer #TapseePannu."
One more netizen tweeted: "@taapsee & #Thappad Movie deserves more recognition than the so-called Kabir Singh! We don't need Movies like Kabir Singh in today's Times. Make way y'all for this refreshing change which is much needed today."
