Anushka Sharma drops out of cricketer Jhulan Goswami's biopic

Bollywood star Anushka Sharma who was reportedly all set to essay the role of Indian women's team pacer Jhulan Goswami will no longer play the lead character in the biopic.

While the reason for the actor choosing not to do the film is not known, the project will continue to be produced by Anushka's production company, Clean Slate Filmz. The filmmakers are likely to cast a relatively new actor in the biopic now, as per reports.

The rumours of Anushka starring in Jhulan's biopic had surfaced first in January 2020 when the actor was seen with the Indian cricketer at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. She was spotted wearing an Indian jersey.

The biopic will explore the cricketer's journey from Jhulan's hometown Chakdaha in West Bengal's Nadia district, to Lord's where India narrowly lost out on the women's World Cup final to England.
