Taapsee
Pannu's
upcoming
film
Rashmi
Rocket
has
caught
everyone's
eye
ever
since
the
makers
dropped
the
official
trailer
of
this
sports
drama.
The
Akarsh
Khurana
directorial
has
Taapsee
essaying
the
role
of
an
athlete
from
Kutch
for
whom
things
go
south
post
her
gender
verification
test.
Recently
in
a
chat
with
a
Hindi
daily,
the
actress
recalled
how
a
particular
scene
for
the
film
took
an
emotional
toll
on
her
and
she
couldn't
step
out
of
her
vanity
van
till
the
time
she
gave
that
shot.
Speaking
about
how
she
broke
down
and
cried
the
whole
day
on
the
sets,
Taapsee
told
Navbharat
Times,
"It
was
the
day
we
shot
the
locker
room
scene.
I
was
to
be
locked
with
the
boys
in
their
locker
room.
That
day,
I
could
not
step
out
of
my
van
till
the
time
we
started
shooting.
There
was
a
whirlwind
of
emotions
pent
up
inside
me
and
it
came
out
during
the
scene."
Earlier
in
an
interview
with
Film
Companion,
the
actress
had
explained
the
difference
between
achieving
a
bikini
body
and
an
athlete's
body.
She
was
quoted
as
saying,
"There's
a
big
difference.
To
get
a
bikini
body,
you
have
to
follow
a
streamlined
approach,
and
that
is
to
simply
shed
weight.
Nothing
between
your
skin
and
bones.
That's
what
you
have
to
achieve,
if
you
look
at
the
kind
of
bikini
body
that
people
expect
to
see;
slim
and
slender.
Now,
I
don't
have
a
body
type
that
can
complement
that
kind
of
look.
I
am
an
athletically
built
person,
so
even
if
I
get
down
to
skin
and
bones,
you
won't
see
that
petite
frame
that
you
see
with
a
lot
of
other
actors.
I
was
always
inclined
to
have
a
slightly
muscular
body
which
looks
like
I've
put
in
the
hard
work."
The
actress
said
that
it
takes
a
'very
scientific
approach'
to
building
an
athletic
body,
with
every
muscle
requiring
a
different
exercise.
She
further
mentioned
that
she
had
issued
'standing
instructions'
to
her
team
that
she
would
never
take
any
steroids
to
help
her
achieve
the
physique
required
for
this
film.

Rocket
is
slated
to
release
on
October
15
on
Zee5.
The
film
also
stars
Priyanshu
Painyuli
in
a
pivotal
role.
