Chakda ‘Xpress, which is set to be released in February next year, will feature Anushka Sharma. Anushka was last seen in Zero in December 2018, alongside Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan. Meanwhile, Anushka Sharma and her husband Virat Kohli welcomed their first child in January 2021. She recently admitted that filming Chakda ‘Xpress after giving birth to her daughter Vamika made her nervous.
Jhulan Goswami, the former captain of India’s national women’s cricket team, is the subject of Chakda ‘Xpress, a biopic. Anushka has been sharing videos and photos of herself practising cricket, but she has now revealed that she was unsure of her physical strength when she first started.
The actor recently posed for the cover of Harper’s Bazaar India, where she talked about her first time filming after having a baby. She told the publication, “I was involved in the founding of Chakda ‘Xpress. I was supposed to start working on it sooner, but the film was delayed due to the pandemic, and then I became pregnant. I was nervous when I finally started working on it because I had just had a baby and wasn’t as strong as before. And I hadn’t worked out in 18 months, so I wasn’t in the best physical shape—in the past, I would have pushed myself to do more in the gym.”
Anushka continued, “Even though I was undecided about taking on the project, an inner voice kept urging me to do so. That’s the kind of work I’d like to do. I’ll always be willing to work on projects that are both interesting and informative.” The actor, who recently left her production company Clean Slate Filmz, which she co-founded with her brother Karnesh SSharma to pursue acting full-time, also stated that she does not believe in the hustle culture. She said, “I believe in taking a more holistic approach to life—if you enjoy your work, you will enjoy your life. That’s exactly what you should do.”
On February 2, 2023, Netflix will release Chakda ‘Xpress, directed by Prosit Roy and produced by Clean Slate Filmz. The film will be a “eye-opener into the world of women’s cricket,” according to Anushka.
