sports drama Rashmi Rocket starring the fierce Taapsee Pannu commences shooting this November.

Taapsee Pannu as Rashmi Rocket.
Beginning in the salt pans of Kutch, Rashmi Rocket is about a young girl from a village, blessed with a gift - SPEED. She's an incredibly fast runner. The village fondly knows her as "Rocket". When she gets a chance to showcase her talent professionally, she excels but also realizes that the race to the finish line is peppered with many hurdles, and what seems like an athletic contest turns into her personal battle for respect, honour, and even her very identity.
Rashmi Rocket is written by Nanda Periyasamy, Aniruddha Guha and Kanika Dhillon. The film will be helmed by Akarsh Khurana who directed Karwaan. "We were all set to shoot when the pandemic struck. I'm glad that we're resuming soon. The team and I have been waiting eagerly to set off on this journey. It's a terrific story that I'm excited to tell." says director Akarsh Khurana
