Last updated on: August 30, 2019 13:13 IST

Just who is Rashmi Rocket, and why is she teasing us with pictures of herself without quite revealing her face?

Well, the mystery has been solved.

 

Taapsee Pannu introduces us to her new film which puts her in a different race on a new track.

 

Rashmi Rocket is the story of an athlete from Gujarat.

 

It has been directed by Akarsh Khurana of Karwaan fame and produced by Ronnie Screwvalla’s RSVP Movies.

 

The film has the blessings of her Mission Mangal co-star, Akshay Kumar, who made sure to post the teaser on his Instagram feed.

 

Taapsee seems particularly drawn towards sports films.

Besides Rashmi Rocket, she will also be seen in the biopic, Saand Ki Aankh, about the world's oldest sharpshooters.

 

'When I greenlight a script, I ask myself if I will be able to show this film to my children. If the answer is no, then it’s a no,' Taapsee had told us in an interview.

 

Here's looking forward to Rashmi Rocket.
