MUMBAI, 5th MARCH, 2024 (GPN): The talent twinkle star of Bollywood Richa Chadha, who now co-runs a production house along with her husband Ali Fazal, said that she wouldn’t want to work with someone who is misogynistic even as a producer. “I don’t want to hire such people. I come from theatre background where we work as a team. Filmmaking is the same. For me, that democracy is important between actors and technicians. I don’t like shouting, screaming, abusing on sets because it just ruins the mood and draws you out of your creative process,” she said.
Richa was most recently seen in the box office hit Fukrey 3 for her vibrant character as Salami Dhoban.
On the work front, Richa was seen in ‘Fukrey 3’along with her hubby Ali Fazal and now they are all set to come up with ‘Girls will be Girls’, a film made under their production banner.
Directed by Shuchi Talati, the film is a compelling story set in a boarding school in a small Himalayan hill town in northern India and follows the journey of Mira, a 16-year-old girl whose rebellious awakening is intertwined with her mother’s unfulfilled coming-of-age experiences.
She will also appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s (SLB) lavish Netflix series Heeramandi, co-starring Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Manisha Koirala, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Shaikh.
Speaking to GPN on her forthcoming role in SLB production, she said, “I can describe my life as an actor by dividing my career into two parts… pre-SLB and post SLB! What can I even say about SLB ? We know how we feel. We know the point where our ideas meet mid-air and give birth to magic… no words are uttered, the set looks on… but a gaze is exchanged and a new character is born each time, a character that will outlive both you and me… and that is your love-soaked, moist-eyed gift to the world. I love you SLB.
Others want to work with you because you make them look good! Sure, no one better at it than you, every other director who tries, gets accused of having a ‘Bhansali hangover’. Your films are seminal, you’re as big as it gets and then some… but that’s not it for me! I am a greedy actor and for me, each time I work with you, I emerge a better artist. You make me do things I didn’t believe were possible! Before each shot, it’s like meeting a lover… the heart beats faster, I have butterflies in my stomach, but it’s all worth it when a character comes to life, uses my body as a medium to convey pain, lust, heartbreak and just juicy, full- bosomed love.
You’re an enigma to the world, but to me you’re an old soul… preserving what’s left, documenting it for posterity, making raw emotion tug at heart strings even in this fast paced world… no one understands or respects Indian music, dance and tapestry the way you do and for that sir, I tip my hat to you!
Who knows when we shall unite again, but I preserve every lesson like a gift from God! You’re my friend, my spiritual buddy, my well-wisher but most of all my Guru! I am grateful for your existence!
