Film producer Karnesh Ssharma says his actor sister Anushka Sharma was the obvious choice for their upcoming film 바카라Chakda Xpress바카라, which is inspired by the life and times of former Indian cricket captain Jhulan Goswami.
Clean Slate Filmz's upcoming projects include Netflix's Original Series 'Mai' featuring seasoned actor Sakshi Tanwar, the debut feature film 'Qala' of late Irrfan Khan바카라s son Babil and Anushka바카라s 'Chakda Xpress' 바카라 both for the streaming giant.
Helmed by Prosit Roy, 'Chakda Xpress' marks Anushka's return to movies after a gap of four years. Her last released movie is 'Zero'.
바카라Anushka is the obvious choice purely because the story spans across 12 years, so it needs somebody (bigger). It is a big budget film and you need a bigger actor to mount it and put it out there to justify the budget. From acting, to star value, (to) reach, there is no doubt about Anushka,바카라 Karnesh Ssharma said in an interview on the sidelines of an event.
Asked about the criticism that Anushka received when the first look of 'Chakda Xpress' was released where some social media users praised the actor's look while others stated that she did not look like Jhulan Goswami and her Bengali accent was not good, Karnesh said he welcomes all the reactions both good and bad.
바카라You accept that because we also felt good about the good reactions that came. It is art and it is open to debate and discussion. As long as it doesn바카라t get violent and belittle (people), we accept it. And because of that, we work harder on things, which you will see in the film. It is all positive. It is how you look at it,바카라 he added.
Anushka Sharma, who recently announced that she was stepping away from the production house to dedicate more time to acting, is "putting in the hard work and training to be a fast bowler", the producer said.
Asked if there were any tips from Anushka Sharma바카라s cricketer husband Virat Kohli for the film, Karnesh Ssharma said, 바카라he has been very helpful. He has helped us get coaches.바카라
Karnesh Ssharma said the movie is about women바카라s cricket, their struggle in the popular game and what they go through.
바카라It is not just (about) Jhulan and her teammates, Jhulan is the face of it but all of these women who have tried to create difference, all they want is opportunity and respect. They didn바카라t get money and opportunity yet they played,바카라 he said.
바카라Today, women바카라s cricket is in a much better place now. (But) it is important to keep telling these stories to remind people that these women have struggled and support their game. It is happening but we need to put out a greater number,바카라 he added.
The shoot of 'Chakda Xpress' will commence from June and the team is looking forward to releasing it early next year on Netflix.
'Qala', which brings back the successful 'Bulbbul' duo of director Anvitaa Dutt and Tripti Dimri, also marks the debut of late star Irrfan Khan's son Babil.
"Babil a very talented actor, he is raw and unusual. It is obvious for people to compare him (with his father) but let him express himself, he is a wonderful talent. 'Qala' is a mother-daughter story set in early 90s in a musical Bollywood setting,바카라 he shared.
Karnesh Ssharma and his partner Amreesh Chandra's streaming platform Clean Slate Studioz has been announced as the new Principal Partner for Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
