According to reports, the movie is set to begin production on March 26.

The actress, who is currently shooting for Colour Yellow Productions’ Haseen Dilruba in Haridwar, has already been preparing for the role in Rashmi Rocket for past two months. Director Akarsh Khurana says that Pannu has been training to better her stamina.


Talking about Taapsee's dedication, director Akarsh Khurana shares, "The students were so inspired by Taapsee that the school named their gym after her. She trains for two hours every day for better stamina and the body language of an athlete."

The first schedule of the film will begin in Kutch. The team will start the shoot by filming a song set in Rann of Kutch. After completing the Kutch schedule, the team will head off to Delhi and Dehradun in May and Mussoorie in June. Taapsee Pannu has also been taking diction lessons to learn colloquial terms and phrases popular in Kutch.

"We will be shooting in three chunks. After Kutch, we head to Delhi in May and Dehradun and Mussoorie in June. Rann of Kutch is also an important part of our schedule. In fact, the first schedule starts with a song, which is set in the Rann Utsav,” concludes Akarsh.

Rashmi Rocket revolves around a young girl from a village, who is blessed with a gift. She is an incredibly fast runner and the village fondly knows her as Rocket. The film will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Neha Anand and Pranjal Khandhdiya.
