One of the finest actors in the country is Taapsee Pannu. Every time she appears on screen, the actress, who has successfully carved out a space for herself, makes sure to bring something fresh to the table. In her upcoming biography, Shabaash Mithu, Taapsee, who will play renowned cricketer Mithali Raj, admitted that she was upset that there was not a single picture of a female player in the MCC Museum at Lord's Cricket Ground, London, the place called the "Mecca of Cricket."
At Lord's Cricket Ground, where certain matches and movie scenes were filmed, Taapsee explored the museum to learn more about the sport, rules of the game, and history.
Speaking of her time spent filming at the Cricket Home, Pannu said, “It’s beautiful, it’s like a cricket museum, when I went there I saw all the stuff, the pictures and the memories that they’ve kept there are beautiful to take you back to the memory lane and make you understand the evolution of cricket, but the biggest disappointment for me in that stadium was there was not a single picture of any women cricketer.”
The 34-year-old actress raised it with Lord's executives in the hopes of bringing about a change in the future.
The Viacom18 Studios and Srijit Mukherji-helmed film Shabaash Mithu will release in theatres on July 15.
