Biopics on Cricketers’ lives are often made in Bollywood. Shabaash Mithu (2022) and M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) were cricketing biopic films that were made earlier. Chakda ‘Xpress, is the next biopic on a cricketer. It is based on the life of Indian cricketer Jhulan Nishit Goswami. She is a right-arm medium-fast bowler and right-handed batter. Jhulan Goswami is one of the fastest female bowlers of all time. She was born in the town of Chakdaha in the Nadia district of West Bengal, and her nickname is Chakda Express, thus the title. Anushka Sharma essays the lead protagonist in the film. Prosit Roy is the director of ‘Chakda ‘Xpress, and Clean Slate Filmz’ is at the production helm. The movie is filmed in India and the UK.
Inspired by the life of Jhulan Goswami, one of the greatest Indian cricketers of all time, Chakda ‘Xpress is coming digitally soon.
