Taapsee Pannu seems to have an affinity for sports drama, as the trailer of the actress’ third sports film Rashmi Rocket is out. The Pink actress has not only played a hockey player in the film Soorma but will also be seen in the role of a shooter in the upcoming film Saand Ki Aankh.
While both her characters from Soorma and Saand Ki Aankh were based on real-life characters, Rashmi Rocket will see her play a fictional Gujarati sprinter from rural Kutch. The movie is directed by Akarsh Khurrana and is produced by Ronnie Screwvala’s production house RSVP Movies.
“Feet that are rooted in the ground but aim to cross boundaries because no dream is too big. Her simplicity is her greatest strength! Rashmi is coming to share her journey, stay tuned. An eye that’s aiming for the finish line will see through all odds! Rashmi is here to inspire you with her journey. She broke through the shackles of traditions to fulfill her dreams,” reads a note from the filmmakers Akarsh and Ronnie.
Taapsee, who has had a dream year so far with Badla and Mission Mangal hitting bull’s eye, is also eyeing a fourth sports movie — a biopic on the life of Mithali Raj, the Indian women cricket team captain.
The athletic actress, who also owns a badminton team and has a Danish shuttler and Olympic Silver Medallist Mathias Boe as her boyfriend, has exhibited robust skills in films like Baby and Pink earlier.
