Shabaash Mithu: Taapsee Pannu puts Mithali Raj's brilliant cricket career to life in the teaser

The power house of talent, Taapsee Pannu is set to do the first biographical film of her career with Shabaash Mithu. Viacom 18 has recently dropped a brand new teaser for the much awaited film and fans can’t wait to witness Taapsee playing a cricketer.

The movie follows the story of Mithali Raj, the Indian captain who continues to break world records while guiding the Indian women's team to victory in the ICC Women's World Cup 2022.

The Game Over (2019) actress is shown going out onto the field amid the screaming sound of the crowd at a stadium in the one-minute teaser. Mithali, who has been labeled the most consistent player in women's cricket, has an inspiring narrative to tell.

Taapsee took to her Instagram handle to share the teaser and captioned, "In this Gentlemen’s sport, she did not bother to rewrite history ….. instead she created HER STORY! #AbKhelBadlega #ShabaashMithu Coming soon! #BreakTheBias #ShabaashMithu #ShabaashWomen #ShabaashYou."
