Actor Taapsee Pannu is already gearing up for her new film, Rashmi Rocket, in which she is essaying the role of Rashmi, an athlete from Gujarat. Because of her speed, folks from Rashmi’s village fondly called her Rocket. Directed by Akarsh Khurana, the film will be bankrolled by Ronnie Screwvalla’s RSVP Movies.

Taapsee took to Instagram to share a motion poster of the film. Dressed in salwaar-kameez, the poster begins with Taapsee practising in her home town. Then the focus shifts to the competition wherein Rashmi aims for the finish line.

Sharing the poster, Akshay Kumar wrote on Twitter, “This ROCKET is set for her next MISSION and she’s off to the tracks! Presenting a glimpse of @taapsee in and as #RashmiRocket. @MrAkvarious @RonnieScrewvala @RSVPMovies @iammangopeople #NehaAnand #PranjalKhandhdiya Music for the motion poster: @LesleLewis”

In an interview to DNA, Taapsee said, “I have been eagerly waiting for the script to be developed into a film. The funny thing is that I have been made to run in almost all my films. However, this is an out-and-out athlete’s tale.”

Taapsee is currently busy with the promotions of another sports biopic, Saand Ki Aankh, where she and Bhumi Pednekar portray the role of world’s oldest sharpshooters - Chandro Tomar and Prakashi Tomar - from Uttar Pradesh.
