Taapsee Pannu and Mithali Raj along with director Srijit Mukherji visited Eden Gardens, in Kolkata as they kickstarted their city promotion.

Mithali says, “Eden Gardens is one of the warmest homes for cricket and it is my absolute pleasure to be here. Playing here has been an honour and it feels humbling, being here today for Shabaash Mithu.”

Taapsee adds, “It feels surreal kicking off our city trail from here. I have watched many matches here but never imagined that I would be standing here for a movie. It’s a different feeling, knowing and understanding the history and the importance of this space to the sport.”
