Taapsee Pannu-Mithali Raj promote 'Shabaash Mithu' at Eden Gardens

New Delhi: Viacom18 Studios' much-anticipated biopic 'Shabaash Mithu' based on the life of cricket icon Mithali Raj is releasing on July 15, and the makers are leaving no stone unturned to promote the film.

Lead actress Taapsee Pannu and Mithali, along with the national-award winning Director Srijit Mukherji, have visited the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata to promote their film.

On the visit, former Indian cricket women's team skipper Mithali said, "Eden Gardens is one of the warmest homes of cricket and it is my absolute pleasure to be here! Playing here has been an honour and it feels humbling, being here today for Shabaash Mithu."

Power-house performer, Taapsee said, "It feels surreal kicking off our city trail from here. I have watched many matches here but never imagined that I would be standing here for a movie. It's a different feeling, knowing and understanding the history and the importance of this space to the sport."

"I feel it's only apt to start this innings from my home ground. It's heartwarming and an honour," Srijit said. (UNI)
