Taapsee Pannu to play Indian cricketer Mithali Raj?

Taapsee Pannu, who was seen in ‘Badla’ and ‘Game Over’ earlier this year, will be seen in a sports drama on cricketer Mithali Raj. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the star is all set to play the ace Indian cricketer.

According to a source the project was announced back in September 2017. The report further said that while Pannu and the filmmakers have agreed to do the film verbally, she is yet to sign the dotted line. Quoting a source, the report said: “The formalities will be done once the studio has a director on board. They have also locked the story but the script is still being developed.”

For Pannu though, playing a sportsperson is not new, reports the Hindustan Times. In Shaad Ali’s ‘Soorma’ (2018), she played a hockey player while in her upcoming film ‘Saandh Ki Aankh,’ she will be seen playing a sharpshooter along with Bhumi Pednekar.

In one of her latest Instagram posts, she wrote: “Been a proud part of one, yesterday saw the second one and now kick-starting the third one.” Pannu is known for doing intense roles. Talking about them, she recently said that such roles took a toll on her mind and change her mental fabric a little bit.

“I really had to psyche myself out to understand the character who has gone through a dark incident and how her body and mind reacts after one year. She is traumatised. It was quite exhausting emotionally and playing such roles surely takes a toll on me,” she said.
