Although this is not Richa Chadha’s first international endeavor, as she previously headlined the critically-acclaimed Indo-French production Masaan and Love Sonia, which was an Indie film based out of Hollywood, her current film Ainaa is set in both London and India. This Indo-Brit production marks another milestone in Richa’s career, as she takes on the lead opposite British actor William Moseley.

Ainaa was officially launched at UK’s prestigious House of Lords by the makers, where Rt. Hon. Stuart Andrew, MP and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, announced the film alongside the lead cast, director and producers.

Ainaa is being helmed by Markus Meedt, who makes his feature debut with the project. The film is a social drama about the impact of violence caused by war on human beings and the society at large.

Richa said, “I’m excited to be working in a new part of the world. I like to experiment. They have put together an impressive crew of the best of talent from India and the UK. It’s truly going to be a collaborative effort to embark on a film that deals with such an important subject. We are currently in London prepping for the film, with the shooting expected to commence on June 2. I have always strived for a challenging role and this one sure is one of the toughest parts I have taken up.”

William Moseley is a renowned British actor who gained fame as a child actor in The Chronicles of Narnia films. Moseley also made an appearance in the Indian film Margarita with a Straw. The film is being produced by Big Cat Films UK and the producers are Geeta Bhalla and P.J. Singh.

On the other work front, Richa is soon going to be seen in Zee TV’s Nurse Manjot, the third installment of the comedy franchise, Fukrey 3, and in the highly anticipated series, Heeramandi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
