Richa Chadda chooses 'Cabaret' over Busan International Film Festival
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,September 30 2015]
With heavy heart, Richa Chadha will be giving a miss to the Busan Film Festival, which will be screening of her critically acclaimed movie 'Masaan' - owing her hectic shooting schedule.
We were told that the talented actress was extremely keen to visit the festival along with her team. However she has an active shooting schedule ongoing for 'Cabaret' and she does not want the shoot to go haywire on her account.
In fact, the ace actor travelled with the movie 'Masaan' to Cannes and was in tears when the audience gave the film a standing ovation for about 15 minutes. It was a heartening moment for Richa who has made it into the industry on her own and treated a different path. She was looking forward to travel to more festivals with the film because she likes to meet people and to know their reaction first hand.
Apart from the screening, Richa will miss a chance to connect with her mentor Anurag Kashyap who is part of the jury for the New Currents competition in the Asian Film Festival section
Talking on the same Richa said,"Masaan is a film which is closest to my heart. I took a lot of time to detach the character of Devi from me. Even now I'm not sure whether I have totally phased that out. Hence not being able to go as a support to festivals like this for a movie of this calibre is rather disappointing. I wish the team of Masaan @ Busaan best wishes."
Richa is shooting her first ever song for her next movie 'Cabaret'. It's a sultry number where in Richa will be seen in a costume which will definitely give you goose bumps. "The entire movie is said to have an oomph factor and this is the first dance number the actress is shooting for," said a source close to the unit. A set is said to be made in a studio in suburbs and Richa is shooting round the clock.
