When the world was on pause during the second lockdown, actor Richa Chadha, not satisfied merely with becoming a producer, penned the script of a heartfelt dramedy in which she is set to star herself. The film is tentatively titled `Akhri Somvaar`. It is about a successful reality TV producer who becomes desperate to get married after someone at work calls her a `childless cat lady`.

Richa Chadha talks about Akhri Somwar

Speaking about `Aakhri Somwar`, Richa Chadha shares "It came from my experiences of growing up in a middle-class Punjabi household. From my childhood, I have seen older cousins being set up for arranged marriages and from there 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 are 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 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 monetizable asset".
