In the midst of it all, Kashyap even hints at time travel, which might just be a part of Dobaaraa’s plot. When Pannu asks about the film’s title, Kashyap asks her to check the time. Just then, Taapsee’s watch shows 02:12, which in Hindi reads as ‘Do Baaraa’ or ‘Dobaara’.
Speaking about teaming up with Anurag Kashyap yet again after Manmarziyaan (2018), Taapsee Pannu said in a statement, “This is going to be one of its kind thriller. I have been very lucky with the thriller genre in my career so far, and I always look forward to pushing the envelope under this genre.”
