Taapsee
Pannu
is
a
busy
bee.
After
wrapping
up
the
shooting
of
Rashmi
Rocket,
the
actress
has
jumped
on
to
the
preparations
for
her
next
film
Shabaash
Mithu.
The
film
helmed
by
Raees
director
Rahul
Dholakia,
is
a
biopic
on
crickter
Mithali
Raj.
The
actress
took
to
her
Twitter
page
to
share
a
glimpse
from
the
field
in
which
she
is
seen
holding
a
bat
in
her
hand.
Taapsee
captioned
her
picture
as,
"And
romance
with
the
bat
n
the
ball
has
begun....
long
way
to
go
but
a
good
start
is
half
job
done
:)
This
is
going
to
be
another
milestone
of
sorts....
For
our
captain
cool
@M_Raj03
and
all
her

#ShabaashMithu

@Viacom18Studios."
Taapsee
who
is
training
under
coach
Nooshin
Al
Khadeer
for
the
film,
said
in
a
statement,
"I've
never
played
the
game
before,
have
just
been
a
spectator
and
a
hyper
ventilating
fan
of
the
game.
Being
on
the
other
side
is
going
to
be
a
huge
challenge
I've
thrown
at
myself.
But
I
feel
pressure
brings
out
the
best
in
me.
This
is
probably
that
one
common
trait
I
can
identify
between
me
and
Mithali."
When
it
comes
to
women's
cricket
in
India,
Mithali
Raj's
name
is
synonymous
with
it.
She
is
the
highest
run-scorer
in
women's
international
cricket
and
the
only
female
cricketer
to
surpass
the
6,000
run
mark
in
Women's
One
Day
International
matches.
Rahul
Dholakia's
Shabaash
Mithu
revolves
around
the
life
of
Mithali
Raj.
Besides
prepping
for
Shabaash
Mithu,
Taapsee
is
also
busy
shooting
for
Looop
Lapeta,
a
Bollywood
remake
of
the
German
hit
film
Run
Lola
Run.
