Actor Taapsee Pannu is one of the most leading actresses in the industry today. After convincing one and all with her portrayal of a hockey player in last year's 'Soorma', she will be next seen playing the role of a shooter, and is set to announce yet another sports film.

When asked if she will be doing a biopic on cricketer Mithali Raj, she said, "Honestly, I've stopped counting the number of sports films that have come to me! Maybe it's because people by now are aware about the kind of love I have for sports. Also the fact that I'm very inquisitive to learn sports, makers know I'll put in my 100 per cent to learn. But, I've chosen few out of all those. Yes, I'm inclined towards the theme, but my film choices will be more on the basis of what the story is. I probably admire and follow so many sports stars, but not everybody has a story worth making into a movie. It's a journey probably worth admiring."

She added, "Also, I'd say that I'd love to be part of the Mithali film, but it's too early right now to say it's happening. I'm in talks for it. I'm doing another sports film, which will be announced soon."

When asked if owning a badminton team and her boyfriend, Mathias Boe, being a sportsperson herself accentuates her love for sports, Pannu said, "Yes, you get to know a lot of things from the other side, which you'll not know just as a spectator or audience. You end up noticing or knowing things from the other side as well."
