Director Anubhav Sinha has written and produced "Assi," a film about the roughly 80 rapes reported in India every day. The film, which takes its name from the Hindi word for 80, is written by Sinha with co-writer Gaurav Solanki and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Sinha under the T-Series Films and Benaras Media Works banners. The protagonist is Parima, a schoolteacher and mother found after a gang rape, whose case moves through Delhi’s courts while the film questions where the crime originates and what it leaves behind. The director credits his team for their courtroom realism, which included a burka and extras coached in court hearings. Sinha hopes audiences will leave with discomfort rather than resolved.
