Richa Chadha aspires to work more for independent cinema

Richa Chadha made her way to the top through movies like Gangs of Wasseypur and Masaan. Now, she is planning to become a part of independent cinema to put forward stronger subjects through her art.

Talking about her future aspirations, she said, “Artists often change how they feel and evolve and so they realise who they are and who they are not. Now, I feel I can and have taken baby steps in backing films and scripts I believe in and I am in a place where I can support more independent films. At the beginning one’s career, one has often heard stuff like ‘Oh your work is ahead of its times’. Perhaps time has caught up and everyone is doing good independent films now.”

She further added, “I am really excited to explore what it means to be an indie artistes with pop goals wherein I want to represent voices that don’t always conform or toe the line. But at the same time, the idea is to let more and more people find this art of filmmaking accessible,” she says, adding she is excited about collaborations and “really cool well written smart indie films”.

She concluded, “I have enjoyed doing all kinds of cinema and have always tried my best to not be stuck to one genre. I have realised that this is what really excited me as an actor, stronger parts, complex layered stories and audiences too have evolved since I made my debut. This is what I know is now the perfect time. I have tried various things, some worked and some didn’t. And both as an actor and as a producer, I wish to be part of such stories. One of the agendas of the production house is to bridge that gap between a good story and an audience.”
