Bollywood star Anushka Sharma had started shooting for her next film Chakda Xpress in June this year. It is a biopic on the former captain of the Indian national women’s cricket team, Jhulan Goswami. This sports biopic is Sharma’s first project after becoming mother. Anushka and her cricketer husband Virat Kohli welcomed their daughter Vamika in 2021.

As per latest report, Anushka will be leaving for Leeds for an intensive training for Chakda Xpress. A report in Mid-Day states that the diva is leaving for Leeds later this month with her trainer. The training will take place for two weeks and Anushka will be practicing her bowling skills.

A source told the publication, “Anushka had a fair amount of training earlier this year before director Prosit Roy called action on the project. But she is leaving no stone unturned to become Jhulan on screen. She will fly to Leeds in mid-August to work with her coach to pick up Jhulan’s style of bowling”.
