Taapsee Pannu-starrer ZEE5 Original Rashmi Rocket has already sparked a lot of excitement among the audience post its trailer launch. Not just the fans but even the Bollywood industry is in awe of the trailer which shows Taapsee as a sprinter who hails from a small village and makes her way to represent India as a runner. However, her life takes a turn when she's called in for a gender verification test, leaving her shattered. Accused of being a fraud and banned from the national team, she files a human rights violation case and thus begins her fight to regain her respect and a personal battle to uphold her identity and get back to the race of life.

The trailer, which is gripping, hard-hitting, and promising, has the fans and B-Town cheering and applauding. From Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar, and Anubhav Sinha to Anurag Kashyap, Milap Zaveri, and Prajakta Koli, everyone has come out in support of Rashmi Rocket and the issue it tackles. This is the first time that a feature film is made on gender testing and Taapsee in her role as Rashmi Rocket is all guns blazing as she challenges conventional femininity and gender testing in sports.

Even filmmaker Milap Zaveri commented, “Once again Taapsee flies high with #RashmiRocket. The trailer has heart and determination! Congrats to her and the team!”.

Furthermore, Taapsee posted a tweet and mentioned how athletes give their all to the country and still get to hear a lot of things pertaining to their bodies. In her own words, the actor said – “Heartfelt thank you From yours Truly. But there are many women who actually hear this daily for no fault of theirs. An ode to all the athletes who give their sweat and blood to the sport and their nation and still get to hear this. #RashmiRocket #AbUdneKaTimeAaGayaHai”
