Mumbai: Taapsee Pannu will feature in the role of an athlete from Gujarat, Rashmi, in Ronnie Screwvala’s ‘Rashmi Rocket’. Directed by Akarsh Khurana, the film is story of a young girl from rural India, who is a fast runner. Folks from her village fondly call her Rashmi Rocket.
The film is based on an original story written by Nanda Periyasamy. Taapsee took to Instagram and shared a picture from the film with a caption reading- “Fierce, strong-headed and unstoppable, meet #RashmiRocket! @akvarious #RonnieScrewvala @RSVPMovies @iammangopeople @nehaanand21 @pranjalnk”
Prior to this, the ‘Manmarziyaan’ actress also shared pictures revealing her character called ‘Rashmi’ in the film.
Taapsee Pannu opened up about her new film to a leading daily and said, “This story instantly hit the right chord when I heard the idea. It’s one of those few films I was waiting to be developed into a script for me to do. Funnily, I have been made to run in almost every film I’ve done in every other genre. But this time, it’s going to be an out-and-out athlete’s tale. What excited me the most was the human drama that unfolds in her life, which makes it much more than a regular story of an athlete.”
