Anushka Sharma is leaving no stone unturned in the making of her next, Chakda Xpress. The film, also produced by her, traces the inspiring journey of India’s most decorated woman cricketer, Jhulan Goswami, who holds the world record for the highest wickets in international women’s cricket. The actor, who has already begun prep for this project, has planned a month-long schedule in the UK this summer. “Anushka is going all out to make this the biggest film on a woman sports legend of India,” says our source, adding, “With Chakda Xpress, she is looking to change the discourse of how sports films based on women should be mounted in India. There can be no half measures when you set out with a vision this lofty.” After her productions Paatal Lok and Bulbbul  made waves in Indian OTT entertainment, it will be fascinating to see her take on a sports drama.
