Taapsee Pannu’s Shabaash Mithu to lock a new release date

Shabaash Mithu, directed by Srijit Mukherji, is about a glorious chapter in Indian women’s cricket and its current Test and ODI captain, batter, and bowler Mithali Raj. Taapsee Pannu portrays her, chronicling the ups and downs of her career in women’s cricket, as well as her journey to become the first female cricketer to score 7,000 runs in Women’s One Day International matches.

On Mithali Raj's birthday (December 3), Taapsee released a teaser poster with the producer, Viacom 18 Studios, announcing the film's release date as of February 4, 2022 - a month before the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup (ICC WCWC) 2022.

However, the film's release date has been postponed to a more exciting date. The ICC World Cup 2022 kicks off (from March 4 to April 3) in New Zealand with the hosts taking on the West Indies, while India, led by Mithali Raj, takes on Pakistan on March 6 and the makers are finalising a new release date during this time period.

Chief Operating Officer (Viacom 18 Studios), Ajit Andhare says, “Shabaash Mithu has been postponed (from February 4) like many other films in advance completion stages, due to delay in post-production as Omicron hit VFX studios. We are working on it and will soon have a new release plan. The endeavor is to time it with the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup that will start soon in New Zealand.”

On the work front, Taapsee recently completed the shooting for Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan? Pratik Gandhi plays the lead role in the film as well. 

She will also appear in films such as Anurag Kashyap’s DobaaraaBlurr, and others. She will also reportedly be a part of Rajkumar Hirani’s immigration drama with Shah Rukh Khan. However, there has been no official confirmation on the same.
