Richa Chadha channels Meena Kumari for ‘Heeramandi’ role
Richa Chadha finds inspiration in Meena Kumari's iconic performance for her role in 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar'.
The talented actress Richa Chadha will be seen in the upcoming film Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai which is directed by Anubhav Sinha. She recently went back to theatre after two-year hiatus with a play called The Life in Telling.
The play was directed by Quasar Thakore Padamsee and starred Vinay Pathak and Ashwin Mushran as well. It was held at the Royal Opera House in Mumbai and opened to a full house. There were only two shows, one in Mumbai and one in Delhi.
As the play was extremely well received and the audiences were delighted by Richa and the cast’s performance, the bank has decided to sponsor a short film based on the play. The film shall also be named, The Life in Telling, after the play and it will have three stories with a common thread.

Richa Chadha will again be seen playing the female lead in all three stories along with Vinay Pathak. As it is a short film they have the freedom to use a few locations instead of being restricted to the stage.
Richa said “The first show of the play in Mumbai went off well and it was great to see a packed venue. The response to it has been great. We have even got requests from people asking when the next show would be in the city. It was quite a good surprise when the production told us that due to the responses they had received they were making the play into a short film. And adding to that is the fact that it might just be the first of its kind. While watching it as a play has its own feel, as a short film it will reach a whole new level and many more people.”
We cannot wait to see this film and are extremely excited to see Richa wow small screen audiences the way she does on the big screen.
