Richa Chadha is set to star in Aakhri Somwar, a comedy-drama which is also written by her. She wrote the story during Covid-19 lockdown and it is about a successful reality TV producer who becomes desperate to get married after someone at work calls her a 'childless cat lady'.
Speaking about Aakhri Somwar, Richa said in a press release" From my experiences of growing up in a middle-class Punjabi household, from my childhood, watching older cousins be set-up for arranged marriages, emerged this deeply personal story that I think a lot of families will resonate with.”
She added, “It is a slice-of-life story, about coming undone and coming together. I think there is currently a dearth of family entertainment. And I think as an actor, my comic timing has been greatly under-utilized. Speaking as a producer, it is a monetizable asset'.
As per the press note, “Aakhri Somwar promises to be a refreshing take on love, societal expectations, and the lengths one goes to for a dream wedding.” More details from the project are yet to be revealed.
As an actor Richa was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Her debut production, Girls Will Be Girls, released on Prime Video last year.
