Bollywood couple, Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal are both hailed for their acting prowess. However, for their latest film, Girls Will Be Girls, the duo donned new hats as producers and pulled out all the stops to make it a success, even breaking their FDs to fund the project. Their efforts came to fruition when the film ended up wowing audiences at the esteemed Sundance and other equally reputed film festivals. The movie was then released to the streaming platform, Amazon Prime Video on December 18, 2024. Recently, Richa and Ali opened up about what it took to get the project rolling, with the former addressing audience remarks that Bollywood would never touch such a film.
Richa Chadha says Bollywood is an imaginary concept held by ‘15 families between Bandra and Goregaon’
When the trailer for Girls Will Be Girls was first released on YouTube, audiences remarked that Bollywood would never touch a film like this due to its subject matter. In a recent chat with the Hindustan Times, actress-producer, Richa Chadha was asked for her opinion on what they had said. In her response, she stated that she felt Bollywood itself was ‘very imaginary,’ saying:
“Fifteen families between Bandra and Goregaon think of themselves as Bollywood. But actually, it’s not a real geographical location. It’s the Hindi film industry, and that keeps changing and evolving. It keeps including new people.”
