Rashmi Rocket is about a village lass who makes it big in the national athletics scene as a sprinter and represents her country.
But Rashmi’s career that was ‘Rocketing’ upward at this point quickly nose dives when her peers suspect her on-the-field physical prowess.
Asked to come in for a gender verification test, Rashmi is literally ‘stripped’ of her dignity in the process, shunted out of the team and even termed a fraud.
A legal battle for the infringement of her human rights that follows to restore her identity and put her life back on the race track, makes up the story.
The crisp trailer that gives out the story, in a nutshell, has all concerned excited and have virtually gone ‘Over The Top’ with their reactions.
Be it Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar or Anubhav Sinha, Anurag Kashyap, or a host of other Bollywood celebs, all have given ‘Rashmi Rocket’ a big vote of confidence ahead of its release.
Vicky Kaushal on his Twitter handle described Taapsee Pannu as a ‘Rocket Girl’. Bhumi Pednekar just said ‘Wah, wah Wah,” in lauding the Thappad girl for a tight performance in a tight subject.
Taapsee Pannu overwhelmed by the industry and fan reaction thanked all of them profusely. Observing that these subtle gender discriminations are a harsh reality of life, the Pink hero said the film is also a tribute to the athletes who are subject to vilification even after giving their all to the sport they so dearly love and excel in.
With Abhishek Banerjee, Priyanshu Painyuli, Supriya Pilgaonkar and Supriya Pathak sharing screen space with Taapsee, it is indeed time for her to fly straight into the hearts of her fans.
