Anushka herself is working on a cricket film, titled Chakda Xpress. It is the biopic of Indian pacer Jhulan Goswami who is a record holder in fast bowling in Women's cricket. The movie will soon begin to shoot and the actress is getting in shape to portray the cricketing idol. It will be released on Netlfix.
Chakda Xpress directed by Prosit Roy and written by Abhishek Banerjee, traces Jhulan's inspirational journey as she charts her own course despite the hindrances posed by misogynistic politics. Tasting the success through her determination and grit, she rose to the position of the skipper of the Indian women's national cricket team. In 2018, an Indian postage stamp was issued in her honour. It marks Anushka's return to acting after the 2018 release Zero. She also gave birth to her daughter Vamika in 2021. The film is one of the most anticipated movies of the coming time.
