The trailer of TaapseePannu's highly anticipated film based on a female athlete, "Rashmi Rocket," dropped on Thursday, September 23. Since then, the actress has been receiving immense love and appreciation for the trailer. TaapseePannu released the trailer of Rashmi Rocket on social media. Judging by the trailer, you can see how the actress does justice to her part in the film. 

The trailer tells that the film addresses the anachronistic gender testing done on female athletes. Rashmi, a young girl from a small village of Gujarat, received full support from her family, but the world refuses to accept how a female can have such a solid physique. Her career is derailed following the medical examination, where she is dubbed as masculine and ineligible to compete in women's sports. Rashmi Rocket then follows the path of an athlete's fight for honor, respect, and justice.

Shot in complete Bollywood style, the song "Ghani Cool Chori" is becoming the new favorite of people for Navratri Garba dance.
