Anushka Sharma To Make Acting Comeback After 7 Years? Chakda Xpress Team Eager To Release Film

Anushka Sharma has been missing from the screen for over seven years now. She was last seen in the 2018 movie Zero with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. The actress then shot for Chakda Xpress, but although the movie’s shooting was wrapped up in 2022, it was never released. However, according to a recent report, the makers of Anushka Sharma’s Chakda Xpress are now eager to release the movie.

As reported by Mid-Day, after the Indian women’s cricket squad’s historic win, the makers of Chakda Xpress have written to the top executives from Netflix, urging them to release their movie. “We have personally written to top executives at Netflix India to see if they can rise above the conflict so that the film can see the light of day. A biopic on a legend

like Jhulan di deserves to reach the audience,” a source cited by the portal claimed.

The publication also claims that the film has been stuck for years because the heads at Netflix did not like how the movie turned out. “The production house went over-budget. What added to the woes was that the platform heads didn’t like the way the project was shaping up. But it’s still a solid film,” the insider added.

Chakda Xpress’s rights are currently with Netflix. “The recent victory has put the attention back on the biopic. Internal discussions at the streamer have started, and the team is expected to take a final pass this month to determine if it can be released after additional work,” added another source.

For the unversed, Chakda Xpress is a biopic on the life of cricketer Jhulan Goswami. The upcoming sports drama will be released on Netflix.

Meanwhile, on the personal front, Anushka Sharma, who is married to Virat Kohli, has moved to London, where they are living a calm life away from all the glitz and glamour. They moved out of India in 2024 but keep visiting the country for work commitments.
