Anushka Sharma's Jhulan Goswani biopic not shelved, shooting to begin in 2022

One of Anushka Sharma's most talked about films has been the  Jhulan Goswami biopic. The actress was wearing an Indian jersey and this led to speculations that Anushka will be seen playing the lead role in Goswami’s biopic. However, there has not been any official announcement about it. Now a report in Bollywood Hungama, suggests that the movie is in the scripting stage and it is expected to start rolling by the end of this year or later.

As per the portal, “It is not shelved for sure. The film is under development and in the scripting stage. Once the script is approved, the director would be finalized after which Anushka would start the preparation. And only then the film will go on floors. ”This means the sports drama is unlikely to go on floors in 2021 and might kickstart only in the first half of 2022. The source added that Anushka is dedicated and plans to do 'justice' to the part. Hence, she won't be rushing into the project and will take her time to get things right. "But it’ll definitely be something to watch out for. Jhulan’s journey has been inspiring and moreover, Anushka is sure to do complete justice to the part," the source revealed. Anushka was last seen in Anand L Rai's Zero in 2018 opposite Shah Rukh Khan which failed to impress the audience and critics. In the last year or so, Anushka's production Clean Slate produced quite a few award-winning shows like Paatal Lok and Bulbbul.
