Anushka Sharma is getting ready to return to the big screen after a three-year hiatus, and she's leaving no stone unturned in her preparations. The stakes are higher, especially because it's a sports biopic. In the upcoming Netflix biopic Chakda Xpress, the actress will take on the role of Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. She has been sharing her cricket training experience on Instagram in the form of short videos.
The Sanju (2019) actress shared a video from her prep session on Monday, and it's incredible. Anushka Sharma is seen practicing her bowling in the blazing summer heat, stopping only to have a sip of water and wipe away her sweat. Sharing the video on her Instagram handle, she wrote, “That’s how the last few days have been! #prep #ChakdaXpress #GetSweatGo."
And it appears that the actress's hard work is paying off, as Jhulan Goswami, whose life the film is based on, gave her a thumbs up. Jhulan Goswami responded to the post with hearts, claps, and happy emoticons. Jhulan Goswami is a former captain of India's women's national cricket team.
Jhulan's remarkable journey is chronicled in Chakda Xpress as she rises through the ranks amid misogynistic politics, pursuing her ambition of playing cricket for India. She achieved her goal and went on to captain the Indian women's national cricket team, serving as a role model for the country's budding cricketers. An Indian postage stamp was issued in her honor in 2018.
