We have seen a few biopics about Indian athletes over the years in Bollywood with the likes of Mary Kom, MS Dhoni etc. And this time, it will be Anushka Sharma, who will rock the screen with ‘Chakda Express’, the movie which revolves around the life of former India fast bowler and one of the greatest Indian cricketers of all time, Jhulan Goswami.
Anushka has given great news to her fans as she confirms that the shooting of ‘Chakda Express’ is over. To celebrate the occasion, Jhulan reached the set for the final clap. Apart from this, both of them also celebrated by cutting the cake together.
Anushka Sharma wrote in the caption that, “It’s a wrap on Chakda ‘Xpress and thank you @JhulanGoswami for the final clap to bring an end to the shoot! (blue heart, clapboard and cricket bat emojis).”. To celebrate this special occasion, a cake of ball, bat and stumps was made. Jhulan and Anushka were also seen hugging each other.

‘It is a really special film’- Anushka Sharma
Prosit Roy is going to direct Chakda Express. He is the same director who made Pari with Anushka Sharma. This film will be released in 2023. Instead of the big screen, it will be released on OTT platforms. It is expected that this film of Anushka will also perform better than expected.
Earlier this year, the actress shared a glimpse of the movie. Taking to her Instagram handle, she wrote, “It is a really special film because it is essentially a story of tremendous sacrifice. Chakda Xpress is inspired by the life and times of former Indian captain Jhulan Goswami and it will be an eye-opener into the world of women’s cricket. At a time when Jhulan decided to become a cricketer and make her country proud on the global stage, it was very tough for women to even think of playing the sport. This film is a dramatic retelling of several instances that shaped her life and also women’s cricket. (sic).”
Anushka was last seen in the Aanand L Rai film Zero (2018) with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. In the past four years, she also produced the 2020 Netflix film Bulbbul and recently had a cameo in Anvita Dutt’s Qala, which is also produced by Karnesh.
