Richa Chadha, known for her diverse roles, recently discussed her experience working on the sports drama Panga, starring Kangana Ranaut. In an interview with Baradwaj Rangan for Galatta Plus, Richa revealed she chose to opt out of several scenes in the movie because she felt they lacked substance.
Richa explained that she was initially excited about Panga because she thought it would focus on female athletes and their challenges, including balancing sports and motherhood. However, she felt that the film's direction didn't meet her expectations. "I kind of opted out of a lot of scenes in that one," she said. "I thought the film would be about female athletes, but somewhere along the line, it went south for me. So, I was like, ‘Give me a guest appearance.’ The role had more potential, but it's not about the size of the part for me. I care more about building credibility."
Richa added that she values roles that truly resonate with her. "The parts that are for me just come to me. The filmmakers don't see anyone else in those parts. But those roles are very few," she noted.
Richa Chadha made her Bollywood debut in Dibakar Banerjee's Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! She gained further acclaim with her performances in Gangs of Wasseypur 1 and 2. Richa has also been a part of all three installments of the Fukrey franchise. Her roles in Neeraj Ghaywan's Masaan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Rasleela - Ram-Leela, Section 375, and Madam Chief Minister have been widely praised.
Recently, Richa appeared in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi, where she portrayed a courtesan in a series set during pre-partition India under British rule. Her diverse career continues to showcase her willingness to experiment with different characters and genres.
