Taapsee 'disappointed' after seeing no picture of women cricketers at Lord's Cricket Ground in London

Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu, who is set to portray cricketer Mithali Raj in the upcoming biopic Shabaash Mithu, said she felt disappointed at not seeing a single picture of any female cricketer at the MCC Museum in Lord’s Cricket Ground, London, the place known as the ‘Mecca of Cricket’.

The makers of Shabaash Mithu have shot certain segments of the film at Lord’s Cricket Ground where Taapsee strolled around the museum to gain familiarity about the sport, the game’s conduct and history.

Taapsee expressed: “It’s beautiful, it’s like a cricket museum, when I went there I saw all the stuff, but the biggest disappointment for me in that stadium was there was not a single picture of any woman cricketer.” The actress brought it up with the officials at the Lord’s in a hope to see a change in the future. ‘Shabaash Mithu’, directed by Srijit Mukherji and produced by Viacom18 Studios, will open in theatres on July 15. — IANS
