Jhulan Goswami biopic: Anushka Sharma starrer still on scripting stage, film to go on floors by year end?

It has been almost two years since we had heard about cricketer Jhulan Goswami's biopic. Reports also started doing the rounds that Anushka Sharma would play the lead in the film that has tentatively been titled ‘Chakdah Express’. In fact, a picture of Sharma practicing with Goswami made fans even more impatient. But, there was no more word about this film and many started believing that the film has been shelved. But, looks like that is not the case.

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the film might be going on floors by the end of the year. A source was quoted saying, “It is not shelved for sure. The film is under development and in the scripting stage. Once the script is approved, the director would be finalized after which Anushka would start the prep. And only then the film will go on floors.”

The source further added, “Anushka is enjoying motherhood right now and she and Vamika are also accompanying Virat on his cricket tournaments. So the film won’t go on floors before 2021-end. But it’ll definitely be something to watch out for. Jhulan’s journey has been inspiring and moreover, Anushka is sure to do complete justice to the part.”

We have another cricket biopic on cards- Shabaash Mithu- which would have Taapsee Pannu play Mithali Raaj.
