New Delhi, Jan 20 (.) ‘Assi’ film announcement has sparked curiosity in Bollywood circles. At a time when movie promotions are typically driven by star power, with actors, directors and production houses prominently showcased, the announcement of an upcoming Hindi film titled ‘Assi’ has taken a very different approach.
On Tuesday, trade insiders began sharing a poster for ‘Assi’ across social media platforms. Strikingly minimal, the announcement revealed only the film’s title and release date, offering no information about its cast, director, or even the studio backing the project. The unconventional reveal quickly generated buzz among industry watchers and film enthusiasts.
The poster was shared with the caption: “Only if you knew what it was. Eighty times a day. Every day. Every twenty minutes. And when you do know, it hits hard. Very hard!!! ASSI, an urgent watch, in cinemas 20th February 2026. Stay tuned for more details.”
Visually, the poster is stark, white text set against a red background reading, “Eighty. Per day. Everyday.” This is followed by the film’s title and release date. Notably absent are any names, logos or credits, making it an unusually stripped-down announcement by Bollywood standards.
The secrecy has fuelled speculation online, with social media users sharing their theories. “This seems to be a promising marketing strategy to raise curiosity,” one user wrote. Another commented, “No stars or big director, wonder why this secrecy.” A third added, “I wonder what this film could be about. Just happy there are no stars’ faces on a poster for a change.”
While details about ‘Assi’ remain under wraps for now, a formal announcement revealing the film’s cast and crew is expected later this month. The film is slated to release on February 20, 2026, alongside Do Deewane Seher Mein, a romantic drama starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur.
