She says, “I didn’t have the liberty being a female actor to sit at home while I build my muscle and get my body ready for the film, I had to do other films simultaneously. I was shooting for multiple other films while I was training for Rashmi Rocket.” She says she is not a gym person and hit the gym “real bad.” The video also shows her struggle with sprinting as she gave up on third day of shoot and couldn’t even stand on her feet and took two weeks to bounce back.

While Shabaash Mithu is the biopic of Indian Women’s Cricket Team captain Mithali Raj, Looop Lapeta is the Hindi adaptation of the 1998 German film Run Lola Run.
