Chandigarh, July 3

Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma has completed the first schedule of her upcoming film Chakda Xpress. A sports drama, 'Chakda Xpress' is based on the life of former Indian captain Jhulan Goswami.

Taking to her Instagram, Anushka announced the wrap of Netflix film’s first schedule with a ball that has “It’s a schedule wrap” written on it. In the caption, she wrote, “SCHEDULE ONE DONE ✅ More to follow.. 🏏 🎬 #ChakdaXpress @jhulangoswami @prositroy @kans26 @netflix_in @officialcsfilms.”

Chakda Xpress marks Anushka’s return to the silver screen after four years. She was last seen in Zero (2018) with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.

Earlier, Anushka called 'Chakda Xpress' 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," she said.

Anushka shared that the film is a dramatic retelling of several instances that shaped her life and also women's cricket.

“From support systems, to facilities, to having a stable income from playing the game, to even having a future in cricket - very little propelled women of India to take up cricket as a profession. Jhulan had a fighting and extremely uncertain cricketing career and she stayed motivated to make her country proud. She strived to change the stereotype that women can't make a career out of playing cricket in India so that the next generation of girls had a better playing field."
