A source close to the film had revealed that Anushka had started shooting for the last schedule of the film in Mumbai early in November.
“Yes, it is true that Anushka has started shooting the last schedule of Chakda Xpress. She has been shooting non-stop for Chakda Xpress for the past few months. As we all know that she has always strived to be a perfectionist and she has left no stones unturned for this film. Anushka has put in months of preparation to get into the skin of the celebrated fast bowler. She now has a gruelling schedule in Mumbai,” the source said.
Helmed by director Prosit Roy, the film will be based on the life of the Arjuna Award-winning cricketer. It would exclusively stream on Netflix.
The film would be Prosit Roy’s second collaboration with Anushka, after the 2018 supernatural horror flick, ‘Pari’. (ANI)
