Anushka Sharma, who is busy with the shooting of Chakda Xpress, shared a glimpse from her prep session on her Instagram story on Friday. In the snippet, the actress can be seen sitting on the ground as she takes a break and poses for the camera. She captioned the picture: “Not at all hot.” However, the emoji gave it away. Chakda Xpress is based on cricketer Jhulan Goswami’s life. The film will release on streaming giant Netflix. It will be directed by Prosit Roy and it will be backed by Anushka’s brother Karnesh Sharma’s production house Clean Slate Filmz.

Anushka Sharma announced her association with the sports film earlier this year. She captioned the post: “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.”

Chakda Xpress is Anushka Sharma’s first project after the birth of daughter Vamika, who she welcomed in 2021. Anushka Sharma married cricketer Virat Kohli in 2017 in an intimate ceremony in Italy.

Anushka Sharma, star of films like Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, PK, Band Baaja Baaraat, Sultan and Ae Dil Hai Mushki, was last seen in the 2018 film Zero, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. Her last project as a producer was the Netflix film Bulbbul and it was a massive success. She also produced Amazon Prime Video’s smash hit web-series Paatal Lok. Last year, the actress announced her next project as a producer – a Netflix original series titled Mai.
