Richa signs romantic comedy with Neil

    There’s no escaping branding in Bollywood and Richa Chadda experienced her share immediately after the release of Gangs Of Wasseypur. The Delhi girl says she was immediately typecast as someone who should portray strong female characters. In fact, she says that someone “very correctly” told her that she’s become an “arthouse pin-up now”. She adds, “I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing, but it is certainly not something I have encouraged, or something that I mind. I’m still not so experienced to think that I have a certain branding or positioning in the industry.”
    But, she is now ready for some change and it starts with a romcom that she has signed with Neil Nitin Mukesh, being directed by debutante Prerna Wadhawan. Confirms Richa, “It’s an untitled romcom, where I play another strong female character, who looks at love in a slightly different way. The writer of the film is also a woman, in fact, my senior from St Stephen’s college in Delhi. I'm very excited to be finally doing something fun and my age, rather than playing Nawaz’s mother!”
