“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,” Anushka Sharma’s Instagram caption read.

The biopic relating to MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, and Kapil Dev has already received huge appreciation from the viewers. The director of Chakda Xpress, Susanta Das is expected to bring a lot more inspiration to the people through the story of the Indian legend.
