Previously, the 'Desi Boyzz' actor marked her debut as a producer with Diljit Dosanjh's sports biopic film 'Soorma' in the year 2018 which also starred Taapsee Pannu in the lead role.

The film was based on the life of ex-Indian hockey captain Sandeep Singh and was declared a semi-hit.

After waiting four years, Chitrangda is all set to produce a new film. The official announcement of the film is still awaited.

Apart from that, talking about her acting front, she was last in a film on digital platform 'Bob Biswas' alongside Abhishek Bachchan, which premiered on Zee5 and gathered positive responses from the netizens.
