In a couple of leaked photos, the actress was shooting in Howrah. On Wednesday, Anushka was sporting the Indian cricket team uniform as she filmed certain cricket scenes. On Thursday, she filmed few gully scenes where she was dressed in a white shirt and maroon skirt. She is donning a bob cut in the movie.

Anushka Sharma returns to the movies after three years (given the pandemic and her maternity break) to headline Chakda Express. The hugely-mounted Netflix Film, which is tracing the glorious journey of one of the fastest female pacers in the history of world cricket, Jhulan, will showcase how the pacer moves up the ladder despite countless hindrances to fulfil her only dream: to play cricket. The official logline reads, “Tracing the glorious journey of one of the fastest female pacers in the history of world cricket, Jhulan Goswami, as she moves up the ladder despite the countless hindrances such as misogynistic politics to fulfil her only dream: to play cricket.”

Jhulan went on to captain the Indian women’s national cricket team and is a role model for aspiring cricketers in the country. In 2018, an Indian postage stamp was issued in her honour. Jhulan holds the world record for the highest number of wickets taken by a woman in an international career.

Directed by Prosit Roy, Chakda Xpress was recently being shot in the UK. The actress is now shooting India promotions. The film is being produced by Clean Slate Filmz. Anushka has already put in months of preparation to get into the skin of the celebrated Indian fast bowler.
