Richa Chadha
Richa Chadha is currently filming Six Suspects, the screen adaptation of Vikas Swarup’s acclaimed novel of the same name. Keen to familiarise herself with the gritty universe of the murder mystery, the actor devoured the book before reporting to the shoot with co-star Pratik Gandhi. Her efforts to become one with the character got a boost when the diplomat-author dropped in on the set of the Tigmanshu Dhulia-directed web series in Mumbai yesterday.

“Vikas is such an amazing writer, and that shows in his work. When I met him in person, I truly understood his nuanced vision, and by extension, my role better. Meeting him on the set further helped me do justice to this character,” says Chadha, who plays one of the prime suspects in the murder of a politician’s son, who was in turn acquitted in the murder case of a Delhi bartender.

Inspired by true events, the Disney+Hotstar series — through its six central characters — will give a peek into the underbelly of contemporary India. The actor says that she enjoyed how Swarup astutely made a larger statement through the plot. “Rich with culture, the book was an intriguing read. I found its assorted perspectives on current India enjoyable.”
