“I really believe in Shabaash Mithu,” says Taapsee Pannu

Ever since the trailer of Shabaash Mithu has been dropped, it has taken the internet by storm. Earlier this week, while Sourav Ganguly unveiled the trailer of the film, Sachin Tendulkar showered it with praise. The movie, based on the life and journey of cricketer Mithali Raj, is headlined by Taapsee Pannu. Taapsee’s colleagues, including Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Saqib Saleem and many others, too appreciated the trailer.

Says Taapsee, “It’s extremely encouraging, people have been texting and calling me to tell me how much they liked the trailer. This is a film I really believe in and I’m glad the trailer has hit a chord with the audience. I am eagerly looking forward to the release of the film, to share this story of courage and resilience with everyone and I hope it is showered with as much love and appreciation.” Directed by Srijit Mukherji, Shabaash Mithu will hit the theatres on July 15. —TMS
