The cast includes newcomers Rachel Sanchita Gupta and Shafin Patel, and also stars Amrit Maghera, Jonathan Readwin and Waheeda Rehman.

[4] The film begins in the remote village Khempur, near Udaipur, in Rajasthan, India, where life is governed by tradition and societal norms.

Jessica’s clothes get dirty when a young boy (Ankush), involved in a scuffle with a schoolmate, accidentally throws cow dung onto her shirt.

Jessica requests the police inspector to give the skateboards back and reassures him that she'll make sure that the kids do not create a nuisance in the village streets.

Recognizing the children’s passion and the lack of a proper space to skate, Jessica and Erick propose building a skatepark in the village.

They take the project to the Queen of Udaipur,(Wahida Rehman) who is inspired by her passion and secures funds to help Jessica.

Jessica organizes a National Skateboarding Competition at the newly built skatepark, attracting participants from surrounding areas.

Despite being forbidden by her father, Prerna decides to secretly enter the competition, with the support of Ankush, Jessica, Erick and her friends who understand the significance of this moment for her.

In a particularly tense moment, Prerna attempts a difficult trick, a drop-in from the highest point in the park, followed by a perfect landing.

The idea for "Skater Girl" was inspired by the real-life skateboarding movement in India, which has been growing rapidly in recent years, particularly in rural areas.

The filmmakers undertook intensive research to ensure an authentic portrayal of the cultural and social dynamics in rural India.

This included spending time in villages, interacting with locals, and understanding the challenges faced by young girls in such environments.

Rachel Saanchita Gupta was cast as Prerna, the film’s protagonist, marking her debut in a leading role.

A significant part of the pre-production involved designing and constructing the skatepark, which plays a central role in the film.

[5] Filming took place in Khempur and other locations in Rajasthan, capturing the vibrant yet harsh rural landscape that forms the backdrop of Prerna’s journey.

The production team worked closely with local communities, often involving them in the filming process, which added authenticity to the scenes.

Writing for RogerEbert.com, critic Sheila O’Malley said the film “captures the iconoclastic freedom and rebellion skateboarding has so often represented, and it joins a long line of rousing skate films.” O’Malley added,Newcomer [Rachel Sanchita] Gupta is a revelation, as is [Shafin] Patel, who plays her mischievous and sweet younger brother.

[12]Anupama Chopra from film companion in her review said, "Manjari captures this exhilaration effectively: this is what happens when stifled lives are allowed a moment of recklessness.

There is a lovely sequence in which Prerna and Ankush sneak out of their home at night to practice – the flashlight on their skateboard create designs on the cement floor of the park.

The skatepark was built with the team from 100 Ramps with the help of Indian and International volunteers, and skateboarding and acting workshops began in October 2018.
