Renuka Shahane on Chakda Xpress
Anushka Sharma was all set to make a comeback with Chakda Xpress, that was touted to be cricketer Jhulan Goswami’s biopic. Even the teaser of the film was released, however, it never saw the light of the day. Now, actor Renuka Shahane who essays a pivotal role in the film, has reacted to claims of film getting shelved.
After the news of the Anushka Sharma-starrer getting shelved was out, Renuka Shahane spoke to NDTV and shared, “I am totally heartbroken. Basically, because I think everyone has put in so much effort. Anushka has also worked on herself so much for it. And whatever scenes I did were so powerful and so impactful, especially for women in sports."
“Jhulan Goswami is iconic, and coming from a very poor house and making it big—and yet the kind of discrepancy that still exists between men’s cricket and women’s cricket, and all other sports, I would say—Chakda Xpress had that core quality of sportsmanship," Renuka further added.
