Chakda Xpress Team Presses Netflix to Review Release After India Women’s World Cup Win

Sources say Netflix plans a final pass this month on the project it controls.

Overview

  • The Anushka Sharma-led Jhulan Goswami biopic wrapped filming in 2022 but remains unreleased with distribution rights at Netflix.
  • Industry reports attribute the delay to a reported fallout between Netflix and Clean Slate Filmz, budget overruns, and dissatisfaction with how the film was shaping up.
  • After India’s ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup triumph on November 2, team members wrote to top Netflix India executives urging the film’s release.
  • Sources say internal discussions at Netflix have restarted and a final pass will assess whether further work could clear the film for release.
  • Director Prosit Roy and producer Karnesh Ssharma declined to comment, while Sharma has not appeared on screen since 2018 and relocated to London in 2024.
