Richa Chadda is Pooja Bhatt’s Cabaret Girl!

Looks like Pooja Bhatt is in awe of Richa Chadha. Pooja announced the film by Shagufta Rafiq starring Richa in the lead role. Now after a hiatus of few years, she has reinvented her dream of making Cabaret, a movie which was in the news two years ago but never took off. Reason being that Pooja couldn’t find the apt face to play the female lead for the movie as she wanted somebody who is a trained dancer and whose sensuality is raw yet gripping. Seems like after meeting Richa, her desire to finally kick start the much talked about film has come back.

Richa says “I was looking for a script that exploits my dancing skills, along with giving me an opportunity to perform as an actor. So this was the happy marriage. Also, dance is a medium in our films needs to be explored more because it is pure physical expression, But most important its Pooja Bhatt which has been a big source of encouragement to me since the day we met, and I am grateful for her belief in me and willing to go the extra mile for her and for this.”

Richa Chadha will play the main leading girl in Cabaret, a film that will see Richa in a whole new light altogether. Not many know that Richa is a trained dancer and has excelled at many forms of dance including Kathak, Jazz and has even worked with Shiamak Davars troupe a couple of years who. Richa will be seen in a never seen before avatar. She’s always been known to essay roles which are unconventional and edgy and Cabaret will see Richa is a stylish and sensual role. She will be giving an ode to the many famous actresses from 60’s and 70’s, the years when cabaret dance was extremely popular in both western and Indian films. Richa will soon begin training under intense regime to perfect the body of a cabaret dancer.
