Training since January for Rashmi Rocket, Taapsee Pannu says her physical prep has come undone due to break; admits shoot of sports drama and Shabaash Mithu to be rescheduled

"My year was planned such that a break [was out of the question]. Instead, here I am, into my fourth week [of self-quarantine]," laughs Taapsee Pannu, trying to find humour in the unprecedented situation. The actor's frenetic schedule came to a screeching halt with the lockdown. "I came back on March 15 from Haridwar [where she was shooting for Haseen Dillruba]. There was a 10-day stint left in Delhi, but we had to call it off."
While Haseen Dillruba is close to the finish line, Pannu is worried about the fate of Rashmi Rocket. The actor, who had begun training rigorously to transform into a sprinter, is aware that the break might undo her efforts of the past three months. "I had started getting into shape from early January. The physicality was coming on point, and now, in the last phase, I needed to push myself the most. Initially, I had thought I will keep myself physically in sync with the character, but the gyms are shut. I can't meet my trainer. We connect over video chat, but the fitness training [that the film demands] is not the kind we can do at home. It's not possible to look like a sprinter [by following the basic regimen]."
