It’s been a long wait for Anushka Sharma’s highly anticipated film Chakda Xpress, and fans are growing increasingly impatient for its release. Turns out, they’re not the only ones. In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, actor Dibyendu bhattacharyawho has an extensive role alongside Anushka in the film, revealed just how special the biopic truly is. He further mentioned that he is as confused as the audience, who are eagerly waiting for the film’s release.

Dibyendu calls chakda xpress anushka sharma’s ‘best performance’
The actor didn’t hold back in praising Anushka Sharma’s performance either. “It is the best performance of Anushka Sharma to date. I don’t know why they are not releasing it. It’s a really, really fantastic film.”
Shelved or postponed? Dibyendu reveals the status of Chakda Xpress
When asked whether the film had been shelved or merely postponed, the actor admitted to being in the dark. “I have no idea,” he said with the utmost honesty. “If I had any information about the film, I would tell you first. I really don’t know because Clean Slate is on one side and Netflix is on the other. What’s going on between the two, I have no clue,” he further stated.
Dibyendu longs for Chakda Xpress release
But beyond personal curiosity, the actor stressed the emotional and economic toll delays can take. “As an actor, I really want the film to see the light of day. A lot of hard work goes into making a film. From the day research begins to the final print, it’s a long and emotionally invested journey. So many people are involved. So many ambitions ride on one film. Many families run on the income generated through it – technicians, daily wage workers. It’s very sad.”
“I want the film to release immediately,” he added with conviction, further stating, “And I’m telling you – it’s a fantastic film. A brilliant film. And Anushka’s best performance till now.”
Why is Chakda Xpress facing delays?
Netflix’s Chakda Xpress was announced by Anushka Sharma in 2022 as her comeback film after Zero with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif in 2018. It is backed by Clean Slate Filmz, a production house by Anushka’s brother Karnesh Ssharma. Last year, it was reported that the production house’s partnership with Netflix has ended, resulting in a delay in its slate of releases.
Reports said that Clean Slate Filmz might repurchase the film from Netflix and might look out for other platforms for release. Clean Slate Filmz and Netflix have yet to address these claims.
