Anushka Sharma’s upcoming film

Anushka has been away from the film industry for quite some time. She was last seen in the 2018 film Zero, alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. However, the film failed to leave a mark at the box office. She now has a biographical sports drama in the pipeline, based on the life of Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. Directed by Prosit Roy and produced by Karnesh Sharma under the banner of Clean Slate Filmz, the film also stars Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Renuka Shahane, Anshul Chauhan, Koushik Sen, and Mahesh Thakur in key roles. However, its release date is yet to be announced.
