Anushka Sharma is all set to make her Bollywood comeback with Chakda Xpress, following the birth of her daughter Vamika. She returns to cinema after a five-year hiatus with the Netflix film based on the life of the former captain of India's national women's cricket team. In 2018, she was last seen alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif in Anand L Rai's Zero.
In a recent interview, the actress revealed that her husband, ace cricketer Virat Kohli, has been giving her batting lessons for Chakda Xpress. She said, "We definitely discuss my progress. Whenever I've had a good day learning, I like to share my videos with Virat, to get his feedback. Luckily, he's not a bowler so I listen to my coach more. But I do turn to Virat for batting tips."
"I always appreciated how mentally pressurising it can be to play cricket, but now, I also understand how physically draining it is. I remember when Virat would sometimes come to see me on a film set, and he would watch us on late-night shoots or in very cold places, he would be bewildered and wonder how we were able to do it. Now, I talk to him about the things that he's been doing for so many years," she added.
Anushka had written a special note to announce Chakda Xpress earlier this year. "It is a really special film because it is essentially a story of tremendous sacrifice,” the actress had added.
