Currently, Richa is undergoing kabaddi training for her upcoming sports film Panga, helmed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. Her training under the fitness expert will be an added advantage for her kabaddi training. Mustafa is going to be a common connection between Richa and Ali when it comes to fitness.

Speaking about it, Richa said, "Mustafa is a fitness genius, and I don't say this because I'm training with him. He really is. I first saw him with Ali and how they were training together and how intricate and personal the process was. Which is exactly what fitness is for me, it's personal, it can't be copy paste. Mustafa does that so well because I saw such prominent results on Ali, I was instantly convinced. It's been an uphill task for me as I needed to work extra hard to get to this point, because of a previous injury. Now I am healed and raring to go."
As of now, Richa Chadha is doing the balancing act between her sportsperson part in Panga and lawyer role in Section 375. While the actor shoots for the Akshaye Khanna-starrer in the afternoons, her mornings are dedicated to kabaddi. Chadha has been picking up the sport under the tutelage of state-level kabaddi player Sayali Nagwekar. The actress told mid-day, "While the training for Panga tests my physical endurance, by noon, I'm on the set of Section 375 tapping into my emotional reservoir and delivering emotionally-charged dialogues."
Ali Fazal, on the other hand, has a new film, Bhoot Police, with Saif Ali Khan and Fatima Sana Shaikh besides the new season of Mirzapur.
