While Priyanshu Painyuli plays her husband, Supriya Pathak plays Taapsee’s mother in the film. The film is written by Nanda Periyasamy, Aniruddha Guha and Kanika Dhillon and produced by Ronnie Screwvala along with Neha Anand and Pranjal Khandhdiya. Ronnie Screwvala talked about his love for stories featuring the 'underdog and unsung heroes'. "I've always loved stories of the underdog and unsung heroes and what's fascinating about the story of 'Rashmi Rocket' is that it isn't just one about her journey as an athlete, but the human drama that unfolds in her life which makes it so much more layered and different from regular athlete stories. Our association with ZEE5 will ensure that the film reaches every nook and corner of the world. This is a story that everyone needs to hear," he said. Apart from 'Rashmi Rocket', Taapsee will also be seen in 'Looop Lapeta' and 'Shabaash Mithu'.
