Of late, Taapsee Pannu’s films have achieved what most actors aspire for — that rare balance of entertainment and strong commentary on a social issue. With Rashmi Rocket, the actor aims to initiate a dialogue about the archaic gender-testing practice in sports. Pannu admits that like the majority of the population, she was not aware of how the practice hinders many female athletes, until the project came her way.
“As someone who loves sports, I was shocked that I did not know about this. So, I started my research parallel to what Aniruddha Guha [writer] was doing for the screenplay. It’s shocking that a woman is asked to prove her womanhood to pursue her profession. It’s bizarre that there are rules that will determine whether she is a woman enough or not. The more I learnt about it, the more motivated I was to do this film,” she states.
