Taapsee Pannu portrayed legendary Indian woman cricketer Mithali Raj in the sports biographical drama Shabaash Mithu. The film has failed to make enough money at the box office, sealing a flop verdict. However, Swara Bhasker thinks that box office collections don't mean everything. In a recent Twitter chat, she came forward to speak in the favour of Shabaash Mithu.
A freelance journalist and casting PR, Anil Merani, tagged Swara in his tweet to write, "@ReallySwara as a women lib crusader ur thoughts when female driven films like #shabashmithu tank like how @taapsee".
Swara Bhaskar replied, "I don’t believe that box office earnings are the sole determinant of the value of films.. Some now cult films were box office duds and some films no better than tripe have been hits. I loved the trailer of #shabashmithu and am catching it in theatres this week!"
