New Delhi: The Mithali Raj biopic Shabaash Mithu, starring actress Taapsee Pannu, will now be directed by Srijit Mukherji. Earlier, the film was being directed by Rahul Dholakia.
As per reports, Dholakia’s exist came following schedule conflicts due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Shabaash Mithu went on floors on April 5, days before the Maharashtra government halted film and television shoots due to the pandemic.
For Srijit Mukherji, Shabaash Mithu is the perfect project to immerse in as he is a huge cricket fan. “Being a cricket buff and researcher, Mithali’s tale has always been an inspiration to me. I was excited since I had first heard of this film being made and now that I am a part of it I look forward to kickstart the journey to bring this exhilarating story to the silver screen soon,” he said.
