''8 ki thi jab kisi ne ek Sapna dikhaya that, ki ek din ayega jab Cricket sirf gentleman’s game nahi hoga. Humaari bhi ek team hogi, ek pehchaan hogi….. “Women in Blue” Aa rahe hai hum…. Jald hi…. #ShabaashMithu. ITS A FILM WRAP!'' She also urged her fans to anticipate the world cup next year by writing, ''Get ready to cheer for the World Cup 2022! #WomenInBlue''

Previously she shared a glimpse into her shooting day on the sets through her Instagram story. She shared an image of her sleeping in her van by calling it 'House on wheels' and wrote, ''When you have only five hours before you get up and report on set, you sleep on set, in your house on wheels #nightinmyvan''

Directed by Srijit Mukherji, Shabaash Mithu is bankrolled by Viacom18 Studios and started filming in April. The film was also reportedly shot in Lord’s cricket ground in London. She shared a glimpse of the same on her Instagram by writing, ''Soaking it in…
The meta moment… #LordsStadium #WorldCup2017 #WomenInBlue Nearing the end :)'' The makers are yet to announce an official release date for the film.
