Audiences have been eagerly waiting for the release of Taapsee Pannu starrer Thappad, ever since its trailer released a few days back. Today, the firebrand actress shared the first song from the film titled Ek Tukda Dhoop. The slow number is a tragic tale of what happens to true love if there is no respect involved, that it falls apart one day. 

The song is crooned by Raghav Chaitanya, the music is given by Anurag Saikia, and the lyricist for the melodious number is Shakeel Azmi. The video of the song features adorable moments between Taapsee and Pavail Gulati, who plays her husband's happily married life before it falls apart after a slap. It shows how she cooks for him, waves goodbye to him when he leaves for office but refuses to forgive him after he slaps her at a party.

Taapsee seems to be really attached to her character Amrita as she recently posted a heartfelt picture on social media saying, "Amrita ...As an actor, some characters set you free and some suffocate you. This was the latter for me... her righteousness, her maturity to handle every situation, determination deep inside and an infectious calmness on the outside.... she made me grow up."

In an interview with IANS, Taapsee had said, "The character Amrita was suffocating for me in the end and I took it as a challenge. After 15 days of shooting, I started feeling claustrophobic. It was tough for me to get out of my firebrand image and mind space and get into the skin of this character."

Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Thappad is set to hit theatres on February 28. It also stars Ratna Pathak Shah, Tanvi Azmi, Dia Mirza, Ram Kapoor, and Kumud Mishra among others.
