Taapsee Pannu, who was last seen in Thappad (2020), has wrapped up the Ranchi schedule of her forthcoming film Rashmi Rocket. Sharing a black-and-white picture from a race sequence, the talented actress said that she is glad that she does not have to do this for real. Pannu plays the role of a sprinter in the sports drama.
“And it is a wrap on Ranchi schedule! Done with the races finally! Has not been a day I have not tipped my hat to the real athletes who do this every day of their life for years! I am glad I do not have to do this for real,” Pannu wrote on her Instagram handle.
The actress had recently shared her physical transformation journey in a video. In the video, she had revealed that she would not consume any steroids and would build her body very naturally to get into the skin of her character.
“I did not have the liberty being a female actor to sit at home while I build my muscle and get my body ready for the film. I had to do other films simultaneously. I was shooting for multiple other films while I was training for Rashmi Rocket. Two hours of rigorous training, going into 12-14 hours of shooting and coming back home, sleeping, getting up, and doing the same thing again. I have never been a gym person, not gone to gyms that often. For this film, I needed to hit the gym, and hit the gym real bad! It took me close to a month to start lifting serious weights. In the beginning, it was long warm-ups and from there onwards to eventually lifting over 20 kgs on head squat was something I never thought I will be able to do.”
Produced by Ronnie Screwvala of RSVP Movies, Neha Anand, and Pranjal Khandhdiya, Rashmi Rocket has been directed by Akarsh Khurana. The sports-drama is expected to arrive in theatres sometime in 2021.
