Mumbai, Jan 28 (TIWN) Actress Taapsee Pannu has started training for her upcoming sports biopic, Shabaash Mithu, which will bring alive the story of ace Indian cricketer Mithali Raj alive on the screen.

The actress feels the role will be a huge challenge and, to get every nuance of the role right, Taapsee will be training with former cricketer and Mithali’s friend, Nooshin Al khadeer.  “I’ve never played the game before, have just been a spectator and a hyper ventilating fan of the game,” Taapsee said while talking about her training regimen.  “Being on the other side is going to be a huge challenge I’ve thrown at myself. But I feel pressure brings out the best in me. This is probably that one common trait I can identify between me and Mithali,” she added.
