It has been eight years since Anushka appeared on the big screen, with her last film, Zero, released in 2018. Although she completed filming for the biopic of Jhulan Goswami, Chakda Xpress, its release on Netflix has been delayed for undisclosed reasons by the production company, Clean Slate Filmz. Following the Women’s cricket team's success in 2025, fans have been urging for the film's release. Recent rumors suggested Anushka might join an upcoming film with Allu Arjun or participate in Atlee’s sci-fi project alongside Deepika Padukone, Rashmika Mandanna, Mrunal Thakur, and Janhvi Kapoor. However, a report from Variety India refuted the claims regarding Allu Arjun. Anushka and her management have yet to clarify these rumors.

Before welcoming her second child, son Akaay, Anushka moved to London, seeking a quieter family life away from the limelight. Reports indicated that she and Virat might leave India permanently. Kohli has stepped back from most cricket formats, and Anushka has not announced any new film projects.
