Although this is not her first international endeavor, as she previously headlined the critically acclaimed Indo-French production Masaan and Love Sonia, which was an indie based out of Hollywood, Richa Chadha's current film Ainaa is set in both London and India. An Indo-Brit production, this film marks another significant milestone in Richa’s impressive career, as she takes on the lead role alongside British actor William Moseley.
Ainaa was officially launched and announced at the prestigious House of Lords by the makers of the film last evening where R.t Hon. Stuart Andrew, M.P. Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department for Culture, Media and Sport announced the film alongside the lead cast, director and producers of the film.
Ainaa is being helmed by director Markus Meedt, who makes his feature debut with the project.
A social drama centred around the impact violence caused by war on human beings and the society at large, Aaina is a film close to Richa's heart.
“I’m excited to be working in a new part of the world, I like to experiment. They have put together an impressive crew of the best of talent from India and the UK. It’s truly going to be a collaborative effort to embark on a film that deals with such an important subject. We are currently in London prepping for the film with the shooting expected to commence on June 2. I have always strived for a challenging role and this one sure is one of the toughest parts I have taken up,” says Richa.
Sharing the screen with Chadha is William Moseley, a renowned British actor who gained fame as a child actor in The Chronicles of Narnia films. Moseley also made an impactful appearance in the Indian film Margarita With A Straw, showcasing his exceptional talent and versatility as an actor. The film is being produced by Big Cat Films UK and the producers are Geeta Bhalla and PJ Singh.
On the other work front, Richa is soon going to be seen in Zee's Nurse Manjot, the third instalment of the mega hit comedy franchise Fukrey 3 and is one of the leads in the highly anticipated series, Heeramandi by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
