Here’s the teaser of Taapsee Pannu’s Shabaash Mithu

We had earlier reported about Taapsee Pannu starring in ‘Shabaash Mithu’, the biopic of Mithali Raj, arguably the greatest woman cricketer to have represented India. The film’s teaser has been released online.

The film is directed by the National-award winning Bengali filmmaker Srijit Mukherji. Scripted by Priya Aven, it chronicles the ups and downs and moments of glory of Mithali’s life.

Mithali Raj is a veteran with over 20 years of experience in international cricket. She is regarded as one of the greatest batswomen to have ever played the game. Mithali owns numerous records to her name like being the highest run-scorer in women’s international cricket and the only female cricketer to surpass the 6,000 run mark in WODIs. She is the also only woman cricketer to have played over 200 ODIs.

Taapsee underwent rigorous cricket training as part of preparations for the film. Vijay Raaz also plays a prominent role. Viacom18 Studios and Colosceum Media Production are jointly producing the film, which has music by Amit Trivedi and edits handled by veteran Sreekar Prasad.
