I had no idea about gender-testing, had to Google it, says Taapsee Pannu opening up on Rashmi Rocket

Rashmi Rocket trailer has been appreciated by viewers and fans are eager to see Taapsee in another impactful role.

New Delhi: Taapsee Pannu starrer Rashmi Rocket is making the right kind of noise. Directed by Akarsh Khurana, the highly anticipated film is based on Rashmi, an incredibly fast runner who dreams of crossing the finish line and winning many accolades for her country. 

However, she soon 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. The primary issue that the movie tackles is gender testing in sports.

Talking about the issue of gender testing in sports, Taapsee Pannu said, “I met Nanda, who had the story with him for this film. He had made a very beautiful AV of the story for my reference. When I saw it, I was honestly shocked because I like watching sports and follow it a lot too, but still I had no idea about the gender testing issue that the film highlights. I had to Google it. I was completely shocked after I got to know the details about this particular issue”.
