Mumbai, Apr 06: Bollywood star Taapsee Pannu on Monday began filming "Shabaash Mithu", the biopic on Indian cricketer Mithali Raj.
The 33-year-old actor took to Instagram to share a picture from the sets of the movie, in which she essays the role of the Indian women's cricket captain.
"Let's go... Day 1! #ShabaashMithu #WomenInBlue," Pannu wrote.
