Richa Chadha has kicked off the new year with a new project. Currently stationed in Nainital, the actor is filming Candy, helmed by Ashish R Shukla of Bahut Hua Samman (2020) fame. Set in a boarding school, the noir thriller revolves around an investigation of a missing person that leads to a dark web of drugs, politics, and murder. 

Excited about her first attempt at a psychological thriller, Chadha says, “The various dimensions to my role drew me to the script. I have always portrayed characters that have depth, and this was another opportunity to explore a nuanced part.” That the project unites Chadha with one of her dearest friends is the cherry on top. “Ashish Shukla was one of the first people I met in the industry, at the beginning of my career,” recounts the actor.
