Actor Richa Chadha opened up about working with an ‘insecure’ female co-star recently, and vowed to never collaborate with her again. Richa said that things became so obviously uncomfortable on set that she had to have a word with the cinematographer, because the co-star was trying to block her light. Richa didn’t specify the name of the project or the actor.
In an interview with India Today, she said, “I have worked with a very insecure actress recently; she tried to change the script and block out my light. It became obvious to everyone. So, I did ask the DOP to step in and intervene to not block my light because that’s very obvious, and very tacky and very 90s. For me, that person is blacklisted.”
Richa, who now co-runs a production house along with her husband Ali Fazal, said that she wouldn’t want to work with someone like this even as a producer. “I don’t want to hire such people. I come from theatre background where we work as a team. Filmmaking is the same. For me, that democracy is important between actors and technicians. I don’t like shouting, screaming, abusing on sets because it just ruins the mood and draws you out of your creative process,” she said.
In a recent appearance on Cyrus Broacha’s podcast, Richa recalled working on a similarly toxic set, where nobody showed her the slightest sympathy when she broke her knee while performing a stuny. Richa was most recently seen in the box office hit Fukrey 3. She will also appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s lavish Netflix series Heeramandi, co-starring Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Manisha Koirala, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Shaikh.
