Talking about Mithali Raj’s reaction to the Shabaash Mithu poster, Taapsee had earlier said in an interview with Mid-Day, “We want to make it as convincing as possible, but it’s not as important to look like her as it is to perform and behave like her. I was constantly in touch with her while shooting for the poster. She texted me yesterday saying that there’s barely any difference between her and me [in the poster]. That validation matters a lot. I want her to say this after watching the movie, too.”
Talking about why she was offered Shabaash Mithu, Taapsee said, “I was roped in because Mithali and I have similar life approach and ideologies. We don’t want to replicate the look to the tee.” The film is directed by Rahul Dholakia and written by Priya Aven.
