Bollywood star Anushka Sharma on Monday announced that she has completed filming for her upcoming feature Chakda Xpress, a biopic on former Indian cricket captain Jhulan Goswami.

Mumbai: The shooting for Chakda Xpress has come to an end. Announcing the wrap, actor Anushka Sharma took to Instagram and shared a few pictures from the last day of the shoot. She also informed that ace cricketer Jhulan Goswami gave the final clap to bring an end to the shoot.

"It's a wrap on #ChakdaXpress and thank you @JhulanGoswami for the final clap to bring an end to the shoot," she captioned the post.
