"A film of this scale needed tremendous prep in all departments, and we are glad that Chakda Xpress has started off in style. Chakda Xpress is a delightful script that intends to make strong statements. I¡¯m proud to collaborate creatively with my producer brother, Karnesh Ssharma, and my director, Prosit Roy, to tell a fascinating underdog story of a woman. It is a fact that women have to go that extra mile to earn their place in this patriarchal world. Jhulan Goswami¡¯s life is testimony to the fact that she carved her destiny and fought for every inch of spotlight and recognition,"
She concluded by saying,

"I hope I can do justice to this incredible script inspired by Jhulan¡¯s life and times. I¡¯m excited to challenge myself and push myself daily at the shoot with Chakda Xpress, and I hope I can deliver my best with this film."
