After leaving a lasting impression with her powerful portrayal of the prostitute Lajjo in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s lavish period drama series Heeramandi, Richa Chadha is all set to surprise the audience once again with a completely different avatar.
Richa Chadha will become the lead of the crime thriller series, will play the role of a detective!
According to reliable industry sources, Richa will soon be seen leading an entertaining crime thriller series for a leading OTT platform. In a complete departure from her recent period roles, the actress is reportedly stepping into the role of a spy for the upcoming project.
Although details about the series are being kept under wraps, it has been revealed that Richa has already started shooting. The show is expected to explore a layered narrative set against the backdrop of crime and investigation, with Richa’s character at the center of the unfolding mystery.
A source close to the development shared, “Post Heeramandi and post pregnancy, Richa was keen to do something radically different. The role of a detective allows her to enter an edgy, restrained and cerebral space. It’s a character that demands emotional intelligence and quiet intensity, both qualities which she naturally brings to the screen. She has already started filming, and the look and tone is very different from anything she has done before.”
Known for choosing unconventional and performance-based roles, Richa Chadha’s foray into the crime thriller arena as a detective is expected to further showcase her versatility.
