Jhulan Goswami and Anushka Sharma
Anushka Sharma and producer-brother Karnesh Ssharma have been the minds behind some brave stories in the recent past — from NH10 (2015) to Paatal Lok (2020) and Bulbbul (2020). So, when they announced Chakda Xpress, inspired by the life of Jhulan Goswami, it naturally piqued curiosity.
Convinced that Anushka is the best fit for the role, Karnesh says the actor is intensely preparing to bring to screen an honest rendition of the former Indian women’s cricket captain. “The story spans 12 years, and is a big-budget film. So, you need a big actor to front it to justify the budget. From her acting prowess to star value, there is no doubt about Anushka. She is training hard to [play] a fast bowler,” he says. The team plans to take the Prosit Roy-helmed film on floors in June. Probe if Virat Kohli is helping them perfect the cricketing nuances, Karnesh says, “He helped us get the right coaches.”
