MUMBAI : Actor Annup Sonii says his latest short film is a hard-hitting tale that deals with a problem that people are aware of, but prefer not to talk about.

In the title role of "The Relationship Manager", Annup learns about the ordeal of a woman suffering from domestic abuse and he tries to solve her problem. It shows how when the world was in a lockdown, there were some women who were locked in their pain.

"This hard-hitting tale deals with the problem which people are aware but don't talk about it. I think every human being can relate to it. But I think there is a taboo. Hence, people don't talk about it," he said.
