Actor Sharib Hashmi used social media to celebrate his 2017 drama ‘Pullu’ completing 9 years of release.
In his latest post, published on Tuesday, Sharib reiterated that ‘Pullu’ is the first Hindi movie that tried to break the taboo around menstruation.
Sharing a couple of unseen glimpses from the drama on his official Instagram account, Sharib wrote, “9 Years of #Phullu !!! The first Hindi film that tried to break the taboo attached with #menstruation #periods #sanitarypads in India and being a part of a ‘1st’ is always very special 16thJune (sic).”
Directed by Abhishek Saxena, the project also featured Jyotii Sethi, Nutan Surya, Trisha Kale, Kimti Anand, Namya Saxena, Paras Raj Gandhi, Seema Parihar, and Nilanjana Banerjee in key roles, along with others.
