Richa Chadha will next star in a dramedy film, Akhri Somvaar

Richa Chadha will next star in a dramedy film, tentatively titled Akhri Somvaar, the actor-producer announced on Friday. Chadha has also penned the script of the movie. Akhri Somvaar revolves around a successful TV producer who becomes desperate to get married after someone at work calls her a ‘childless cat lady’.

Richa said the movie is inspired by her experiences of growing up in a middle-class Punjabi household. “From my childhood, watching older cousins be set up for arranged marriages, emerged this deeply personal story that I think a lot of families will resonate with. When we graduate from college, we are full of dreams and ambitions. Somehow those dreams get dulled when we enter the job market…,” she said.
