After Alia Bhatt's self-mocking Genius of the Year, Richa Chadda, along with writer-lyricist Varun Grover and Fukrey director Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, has penned a spoof on the life of a Hindi film actress. The short satirical film, directed by Lamba, will be shot next month in Mumbai.
Richa told Mirror that she had the idea before Alia's video made by All India Bakchod went viral. "An actress meets a lot of people whose only job is to dole out advice. They tell you to do item numbers, dance at weddings and sign up for the 'right' kind of endorsements," she points out.What's the most bizarre 'gyan' anyone has ever given her? "I was told to date a cricketer so I'd be 'visible' in the media. Obviously, I didn't take the tip," she laughs.
The actress wants Anurag Kashyap and Kalki Koechlin to play themselves in the film but admits that the duo are currently occupied with their upcoming releases, Bombay Velvet and Margarita, With a Straw. "But I'm sure that once they read the script, they'll be on board. It's a tongue-in-cheek take on what people think an actress doesfrom dating producers to attending rave parties. The layman's fantasies can sometimes shock you!" asserts the actress who having recently wrapped up her first Indo-US production, Three Stories, will now start shooting for Pooja Bhatt's Cabaret with Gulshan Devaiah.
