Actress Richa Chadha is currently basking in the success of 'Fukrey 3' that hit the screens on October 6. It also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma and Manjot Singh. The comedy-drama is inching closer to the Rs 100 crore club.
In an interview with India Today, Richa revealed that recently she said no to a film on motherhood, which had a young, male director, but no female co-writer.
She said she was offered a script recently by a boy who was under 30 and he wrote the script about motherhood. The actress added, "So I asked him whether he has a female co-writer or a director, what is he gonna do. He said, ‘Ya, we’ll look at a female director, but I think I know women. I asked him what his research on this. He said, ‘Actually, I have a mother.’ So when I sensed that I'll be the smartest person on set, and I have to crack the whip on everyone to get them to do their own jobs, I said no".
The 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' actress also said that she doesn't want to be the smartest person on a film set anymore. “How am I going to grow if the person sitting next to me is going to rely on my brain, my intelligence, my character, my abilities, my talent? It has to work both ways, no?'', added Richa.
On the work front, Richa will be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama 'Heeramandi' that ill stream on Netflix.
