MUMBAI: Actress Anushka Sharma has started prepping for her comeback film ‘Chakda Xpress’, where she will be seen playing the woman fast bowler of India ‘Jhulan Goswami’.

“She plays a cricketer in the film and while Anushka has always been one of the fittest actresses in Indian cinema, she will need to tailor-make her workout to achieve the kind of body and fitness level she needs to play Jhulan effectively,” informs a trade source.

“Anushka Sharma doing a film on women’s cricket is exciting from the very onset and the fact that the makers are trying to make it the biggest sports film inspired by a female sporting icon in scale and canvas, makes things all the more exciting!” informs the source.

The film is being produced by Clean Slate Filmz.
