Bollywood has created a number of sports movies, such Mary Kom and Dangal, that show the remarkable journey and ardour of Indian sportswomen. We have now produced a list of actresses who will soon be portraying athletes on the big screen in anticipation of a wave of female-led sports films.

1. Chakda Xpress with Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma will portray Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami in her forthcoming movie Chakda Xpress. The most well-known fast bowler from India, Jhulan Goswami, is profiled in the film for his inspirational journey. From persuading her parents and shattering prejudices to her ascent to becoming one of India’s finest female cricketers, the movie chronicles the high points of Jhulan’s career. In the second quarter of 2022, the movie is scheduled for distribution on OTT platforms.

2. Mr and Mrs Mahi starring Janhvi Kapoor

In the film Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, which is being made by Karan Johar and directed by Sharan Sharma, Janhvi Kapoor will once again work with Rajkummar Rao. The Dhadak star will portray an ambitious player in the cricket-themed movie. We do know that Mr. and Mrs. Mahi is a pleasant tale about dreams in cricket, despite the fact that the filmmakers haven’t provided many details about the narrative.

3. In Spike, Rasika Dugal

The cast of Spike, a Hindi-language sports drama, is led by Rasika Dugal, who most recently had an appearance in the second episode of the popular series Mirzapur. Dugal will play a volleyball coach in the series, which was produced by Nishtha Shailajan and Dhaval Shah. As part of her preparation for the character, the actress spent three months practising volleyball in Mumbai. With such a strong talent roster on board, we have great expectations for this one.

4. Ghoomer’s Saiyami Kher

The actress Saiyami Kher, who is widely known for her work in Breathe: Into The Shadows, will soon be seen as a cricket player in R. Balki’s Ghoomer. The actor will appear in this movie with Abhishek Bachchan, who will play her coach. It’s interesting to note that Saiyami represented Maharashtra in school cricket and was even chosen for the national squad. Therefore, we may anticipate that she will excel in the capacity of a cricket player!

5. Shabaash Mithu’s Taapsee Pannu

In Shabaash Mithu, Mithali Raj’s official biography, Taapsee Pannu will make her big-screen comeback as the former captain of the Indian women’s national cricket team. With over 10,000 runs in ODIs, Mithali Raj is renowned for her record-breaking 23-year international cricket career. The movie follows her rise to fame as a renowned cricketer who inspired countless girls and women across the world. Based on what we see in the trailer, which was published today, it seems to be an exhilarating sports drama.
