Anushka Sharma was last seen in Anand L Rai’s Zero, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. Since then, she has been away from the silver screen. However, the actress backed many hit projects as a producer. A few months ago, Anushka had announced that she will be seen in Chakda Xpress, which is inspired by the life and times of former Indian captain Jhulan Goswami.
Anushka had been sharing a lot of pictures and videos on Instagram while she was getting trained to play Jhulan Goswami. Now, it seems her training is done and she is all set to play the role. Today, Anusha shared pictures on Instagram.
She revealed that she has begun shooting for Chakda Xpress. She shared a video of her vanity van and a few other pictures on Instagram. Along with it, she wrote, “Back to where I belong… #ChakdaXpress #ShootBegins #ChakdaXpressDay1”
As soon as she shared it her husband, Virat Kohli commented on the post and showered love on her. She posted red hearts on the post. Even cricketer, Jhulan Goswami poured love on Anushka’s post.
It was in January this year when Anushka announced the movie and shared a teaser of the film with a long note. A part of a note read, “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.”
This will be Anushka’s first film post the birth of her baby. The actress married Virat in 2017 and welcomed a baby girl, Vamika in 2021
