Anushka Sharma’s long-delayed film Chakda Xpress might finally be released on OTT. The film, based on the life of Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami, was first announced in late 2021 with Anushka playing the lead role. It was expected to mark her big return to acting, but after the announcement, the project went quiet. There were no clear updates from the producers or Netflix India, and many assumed the film had been shelved.
Now, with the Indian women’s cricket team winning the World Cup, the makers seem ready to revive the film. It appears to be a smart move, as the audience’s interest in women’s cricket is at its peak. Reports suggest that Chakda Xpress will arrive directly on Netflix India.
The film was completed some time ago, but its delay left fans waiting for years. Anushka’s comeback has been one of the most talked-about topics in Bollywood, and this film could finally bring her back to the screen after a long break.
If Chakda Xpress does release on Netflix India, it would be a fitting time to celebrate both Jhulan Goswami’s legacy and India’s recent victory in the Women’s World Cup. For now, all eyes are on whether the makers make an official announcement. If they do, we will keep you informed.
