In a recent interview with Times of India, Taapsee was asked if Thappad was an alternative to Kabir Singh, where the protagonists can be seen hitting each other. "It is wonderful that two contradicting subjects co-exist in the same industry. There are people to spend money, time and effort on both the subjects, considering T-Series has bankrolled both the films. It is an interesting time. We are not those hard and fast extremists in the industry who are ‘if we have done this, we will never do that’ kind of people," she said.
Taapsee was also asked to opine about the fact that Thappad was called a 'male-bashing' film by many. To this she said, "That is sad. Just because we are telling you to re-look at your relationships, doesn’t make it male-bashing. The film is written from both a male and a female perspective. It is written by a man."
