Actor Richa Chadha has commenced work after her maternity break and has signed a comedy film, the details of which are still under wraps. As per a press note, the film’s script has been written by Amitosh Nagpal and it is set in North India. It will go on floors on October this year.

Talking about coming back after the break, Richa said, “I can’t speak for all women, because it depends on each individual what their journey is like, I am determined to get back to work as soon as possible, and not take a long break, as i have pending commitments.”

"I take immense inspiration from my own mother, who managed both roles (of a mother and a professional) with grace and efficiency. I believe I can handle both duties effectively as well,” she added.
