Anushka
Sharma
had
left
her
fans
overjoyed
after
she
announced
her
upcoming
sports
biographical
drama
Chakda
Xpress
wherein
she
will
be
playing
ace
cricketer
Jhulan
Goswami.
Anushka
had
announced
the
same
in
January
last
month
and
the
movie
will
mark
her
return
to
the
acting
sphere
after
the
2018
film
Zero.
Now
the
latest
development
surrounding
the
movie
suggests
that
the
actress
has
started
prepping
for
the
project.
According
to
a
news
report
in
Pinkvilla,
a
trade
source
revealed
to
a
publication
saying,
"If
you
closely
follow
Anushka's
social
media,
you
will
see
that
she
is
constantly
putting
up
content
related
to
working
out.
So,
just
to
let
the
cat
out
of
the
bag,
she
has
started
prepping
to
play
Jhulan
on
screen.
She
plays
a
cricketer
in
the
film
and
while
Anushka
has
always
been
one
of
the
fittest
actresses
in
Indian
cinema,
she
will
need
to
tailor-make
her
workout
to
achieve
the
kind
of
body
and
fitness
level
she
needs
to
play
Jhulan
effectively."
The
source
further
added
that
Chakda
Xpress
will
give
the
viewers
a
'vintage
Anushka
Sharma
performance'.
The
source
went
on
to
add,
"She
is
also
known
to
transform
herself
for
films
and
Jhulan
is
a
film
that
will
give
us
a
chance
to
see
a
vintage
Anushka
performance.
Anushka
doing
a
film
on
women's
cricket
is
exciting
from
the
very
onset
and
the
fact
that
the
makers
are
trying
to
make
it
the
biggest
sports
film
inspired
by
a
female
sporting
icon
in
scale
and
canvas,
makes
things
all
the
more
exciting."
The
movie
will
be
released
on
the
OTT
streaming
platform
Netflix.
While
sharing
the
announcement
video
of
the
movie,
Anushka
Sharma
had
stated
that
"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."
