Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu has heaped praises on Mithali Raj, who is the first Indian woman cricketer to receive the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award.
Taapsee will be seen playing the role of Mithali Raj in the biopic titled Shabaash Mithu, directed by Srijit Mukherji, who has the distinction of scoring the most ODI runs in women’s cricket. Taapsee on Tuesday announced that the shooting of the sports biopic has been completed.
Posting a video of President Ram Nath Kovind paying respects to the captain of the women’s cricket team, Taapsee tweeted: “Just hearing this exhaustingly long introduction of her admiration makes me think she’s really not just a film, but Deserves a series on him.” She said: “Very inspirational.”
The actress has completed shooting for Shabaash Mithu. He also treated his fans to a picture of himself in the film.
Alongside the image, she wrote: “8 ki thi jab kisi ne ek sapna dikhaya tha ki ek din ayega jab cricket sirf gentleman’s game nahi hoga. Humaari bhi ek team hogi, ek pehchaan hogi … ‘Women in Blue’ Aa rahe hai hum … Jald hi … #ShabaashMithu IT’S A FILM WRAP! Get ready to cheer for the World Cup 2022! #WomenInBlue”
In translation, Taapsee’s caption read: “I was eight years old when someone made me dream of the day when cricket would not be just a gentlemen’s game. Women will also have a team, an identity. ‘Women in Blue’ is coming soon. Very soon.”
With the next ICC Women Cricket The World Cup is scheduled to take place in New Zealand in March-April 2022, and with India aiming to make the final (and win the trophy) for the third time under Raj’s captaincy, the biopic could not have happened at a more appropriate time.
