Anushka Sharma concludes shooting for Chakda 'Xpress

Bollywood star Anushka Sharma on Monday announced that she has completed filming for her upcoming feature "Chakda 'Xpress", a biopic on former Indian cricket captain Jhulan Goswami.

The film, directed by Prosit Roy, traces Goswami's journey as she moves up the ladder despite the hindrances posed by misogynistic politics to fulfill her dream of playing cricket for India.


The 34-year-old actor shared the news on Instagram and posted several pictures from the sets.

"It’s a wrap on #ChakdaXpress and thank you @JhulanGoswami for the final clap to bring an end to the shoot! #ComingSoon #ChakdaXpressOnNetflix" Sharma wrote in the caption.

Sharma started shooting for the film in June this year. She has previously worked with Roy on her 2018 supernatural horror movie "Pari".

"Chakda 'Xpress", which will premiere on Netflix, is produced by her brother Karnesh Ssharma via the banner Clean Slate Filmz.

Sharma's last acting gig was 2018's Shah Rukh Khan-led movie "Zero".

Ainy Jaffri steps onto the stage with Rukhsati, drawn in by what she describes as a layered and emotionally rich script. The project, written and directed by Saqib Deshmukh, has already seen earlier runs before moving to Tara Theatre.

Jaffri said the opportunity came through her co-actor Hassan Khan, and the strength of the writing made it an immediate draw, particularly as a two-hander that places sustained focus on performance.
