Like any first-time producer, Taapsee Pannu is giving undivided attention to her maiden project Blurr, which is being shot in Nainital. But before leaving for the hill station, the actor met Srijit Mukherji to understand the way forward for Shabaash Mithu. In June, the noted Bengali filmmaker replaced Rahul Dholakia as the director of the biopic on Indian women’s cricket team captain Mithali Raj.

It is heard that in the recent meeting, Pannu discussed at length her prep and notes on the character that she has been living for the past one year. After it’s a wrap on Blurr, she will begin shooting for the sports drama in early September.

A source reveals, “The biopic was slated to go on floors in April, but the second wave of the pandemic made the team hit the pause button. Srijit is currently in Mumbai, setting the groundwork for the ambitious movie. Once Taapsee returns to the city, the film will start rolling, followed by an international schedule. The director is expected to meet Mithali soon.”
