On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, actor Richa Chadha announced her new film, tentatively titled Akhri Somvaar. After becoming a producer with Girls Will Be Girls, the actor has now donned the hat of a writer with her next project.
Akhri Somvaar is about a successful reality TV producer who becomes desperate to get married after someone at work calls her a 'childless cat lady'. Other than writing the script, the actor will also star in the forthcoming film.
Sharing her happiness about the film, Richa said, " From my 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, and before you know it, you’re in your mid-30s hoping to have both a career and a husband/family, but society thinks it's too late, and you become jaded because the dreams are now not achievable.”
“It is a slice-of-life story, about coming undone and coming together. I think there is currently a dearth of family entertainment. And I think as an actor, my comic timing has been greatly under-utilized. Speaking as a producer, it is a monetisable asset',” she added.
Aakhri Somwar promises to be a refreshing take on love, societal expectations, and the lengths one goes to for a dream wedding. Other details about the film are under wraps.
