Richa’s debut project has been green lit by her banner which is by a close friend of Richa who approached her to produce a film she has written and will direct, and wanted the actress to be associated with it.
This friend is Shuchi Talati, a New York based filmmaker who’s written an untitled project which is a coming of age teenage love story. Shuchi and Richa studied together in college in Mumbai and the alliance was a good opportunity for Richa to steer her way into production.

On her production venture, Richa said, “In today’s day and age, actor are seriously moving towards producing content by themselves in a serious way. An actor or moreso an artist today isn’t bound by just acting in front of screen, given the space and opportunity that there is today, an actor can write, direct, produce and much more. There are so many great examples we have of actors who are both successful in front of the screen but are also pioneering and championing content as producers, writers and directors. I was glad that Shuchi asked me to produce this feature for her as it has given me an opportunity too for the commencing my little venture. We are in process of finish formalities for the name of the venture amongst other things, but I am glad my first feature is with a dear friend.”
On the acting front, Richa is gearing up for her film Shakeela biopic.
