According to a source, Anushka is currently working on improving her fitness and physique in preparation for her role as a fast bowler on screen.

A trade source informed, “If you closely follow Anushka’s social media, you will see that she is constantly putting up content related to working out. So, just to let the cat out of the bag, she has started prepping to play Jhulan on screen.

The source further added that the Netflix film will be grand on scale. “She is also known to transform herself for films and Jhulan is a film that will give us a chance to see a vintage Anushka performance. Anushka doing a film on women’s cricket is exciting from the very onset and the fact that the makers are trying to make it the biggest sports film inspired by a female sporting icon in scale and canvas, makes things all the more exciting,” the source added.
