Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma, who comes after three years on the digital screen with the role of a cricketer titled ‘Chakda Xpress’ will stream on Netflix.

Directed by Prosit Roy, the film is inspired by the life of former captain of India national women’s cricket team Jhulan Goswami.

The movie traces the glorious journey of the Jhulan, who is one of the fastest female pacers in the history of world cricket as she moves up the ladder despite the countless hindrances posed by misogynistic politics to fulfill her only dream to play cricket, ANI reported from Mumbai.

‘Chakda Xpress’ is produced by Anushka Sharma and her brother Karnesh Sharma’s Clean Slate Filmz.

Talking about the film, Anushka Sharma said, “It is 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. This film is a dramatic retelling of several instances that shaped her life and also women’s cricket,” the actor said, calling the film “an underdog story” in the history of Indian cricket.
