'Wanted to work with Sinha after watching Mulk'

Mumbai: Actor Dia Mirza, who will be seen in Anubhav Sinha's next film Thappad, says she wanted to work with the filmmaker once again after watching his critically-acclaimed and commercially-successful films Mulk and Article 15. The actor has featured with Sinha's hardcore commercial films such as Dus and Cash in the past, and the upcoming Thappad is their third film together.

A few days ago, the team of Thappad wrapped up shooting. Dia Mirza, who also plays a key role, took to Twitter to write a special message on the wrap. She also appreciated the fact that the team consisted of a lot of talented women.

Thappad is based on a subject that defies typecasting of women.

"I just want to say that the reach of this Thappad (slap) will go far. I did two films with Anubhav Sinha ji many years ago. I think now its his 2.0 version but I worked with him before this version. I really wanted to collaborate with him since the day I had watched Mulk and Article 15 which was made by him. I am very excited about this subject and now, he is telling stories that are coming straight from his heart. That's what makes his storytelling so special," said Dia.
