Actress-producer Anushka Sharma was seen shooting in Kolkata's iconic Eden Garden for her upcoming film 'Chakda Xpress'. In the pictures, Anushka, who will be seen playing cricketer Jhulan Goswami, sports shoulder-length hair, dressed in a cricket jersey and white sports shoes.

The pictures of Anushka Sharma from the movie's shooting have now gone viral on the internet. Netizens, however, seem to not like it that much. Netizens believe the biopic will be doomed at the box office.

While some liked Anushka's look as Jhulan Goswami, many argued that the actress looked completely different.


"Ek aur biopic paani mein," one person wrote on Instagram. Another Instagram user said: "Look at her face the way she is over doing it."

Jhulan Goswami holds the world record for the highest number of wickets taken by a woman in an international career.

Jhulan Goswami was the captain of the Indian women's cricket team and is a massive inspiration for all female cricketers and people. A postage stamp was released in 2018 in her honor. Goswami played her final match versus England in September at the iconic Lord's. India won the match and clinched the series 3-0.

Anushka Sharma shared a few pictures of Jhulan on Instagram. She captioned it, saying Jhulan was a legend and a role model, and her name will be in the history books for time immemorial. She thanked the cricketer for being a game-changer for the Indian cricket team, and Jhulan replied, saying she was thankful for the post and caption. Jhulan debuted in 2002 and has represented India five times in World Cups. However, she has not won a World Cup.

'Chakda Xpress', directed by Prosit Roy, is based on the life of Jhulan Goswami, who became the second Indian woman cricketer to receive the Padma Shri in 2012.
