Rocket

in
which
actor
Taapsee
Pannu
looks
flawlessly
rocky.
Akshay
Kumar,
who
will
also
play
a
main
role
in
the
film,
took
to
social
media
to
release
the
motion
poster.
Taapsee
will
essay
the
role
of
a
Gujarati

Rashmi.
Produced

In
an
interview,
the
director
revealed
that
the
whole
story
was
perceived
in
Florence,
Italy.
"Taapsee
was
there
for
a
film
festival
with
Manmarziyaan
(2018)
and
Mulk
(2018).
I
was
at
the
same
event
with
Karwaa
(2018).
We
saw
each
other's
films,
had
some
great
food,
and
jammed
over
an
idea
that
she
had."
Ronnie
Screwvala,
who
said
that
the
Pink
actor
was
the
best
choice
to
play
the
role
of
Rashmi,
said
during
an
interview,
"Rashmi
Rocket
is
the
story
of
a
girl
who
achieves
and
conquers
in
her
field
despite
all
the
adversities
that
come
her
way.
I
cannot
think
of
anyone
better
than
Taapsee
to
play
this
character.
This
is
a
sportsperson's
story
that
needs
to
be
told
with
a
certain
level
of
sensitivity
and
no
one
better
than
Akarsh
to
helm
this."
He
added
that
Rashmi
Rocket
is
the
story
of
"a
girl
who
achieves
and
conquers
in
her
field
despite
all
the
adversities."
Taapsee
has
also
finished
shooting
another
sports
biopic,
Saand
Ki
Aankh,
in
which
she
will
play
the
role
of
Chandro
Tomar,
and
Bhumi
Pednekar
has
essayed
the
role
of
Prakashi
Tomar.
They
are
the
world's
oldest
sharpshooters.
