Viacom18 Studios’ much anticipated film Shabaash Mithu, based on the life of iconic cricketer Mithali Raj, is releasing on July 15.

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.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
