Mithali Raj’s biopic, Shabaash Mithu is one of the most awaited films. The film is based on the cricketing career of the current India Women’s ODI and Test team captain Mithali Raj. She is currently leading the Indian team in the ongoing World Cup in New Zealand. The trailer of the movie was launched today as shared by Taapsee Pannu, who is portraying Mithali on screen.
Pannu took to Twitter and posted the 56 second-video which started with a full capacity stadium. It is presumed that the stadium might be the Lord’s Cricket Ground, where India played the final of the 50-over World Cup in 2017.
“In this Gentlemen’s sport, she did not bother to rewrite history, instead she created HER STORY!,” Pannu captioned the video.
