New Delhi: Anushka Sharma is prepping for the release of her next film Chakda Xpress. The film is based on the life of Indian Women Cricket Team Captain Jhulan Goswami. As per the latest development, the actress is set to shoot for the film at the Lord’s stadium. She will also be shooting for some parts of the film in Headingley Stadium in the UK again. Plans are underway for Anushka to also shoot at a top stadium in India, reportedly.
A top industry source revealed, “Yorkshire County Cricket Club have just announced a new sponsorship deal with Karnesh Ssharma’s Clean Slate Filmz, which will take over as principal sponsor at Headingley for the 2022 season. So, it’s certain that Anushka will shoot at this iconic stadium. Plus, given Jhulan’s cricket trajectory, Anushka is expected to shoot at Lord’s and at a few other big world cricket stadiums. It looks like she will travel to at least 4 big stadiums for the film.”
The source added, “Anushka’s films have always been mounted on a big scale. Karnesh and Anushka want Chakda Xpress to become a definitive biopic based on a woman sportstar. Thus, no stones will be left unturned to ensure that Anushka doing Chakda becomes a huge talking point for audiences worldwide. This move definitely indicates that intention and also gives a promise that a big film is coming from Anushka that will have scale, patriotism and the message of equality all rolled into one.”
Chakda Xpress is set to release on Netflix.
