Highlights
- With an acting career that has her playing characters way too older than her actual age, Richa Chadda found the experience of doing an item song for Akshay Chaubey's untitled directorial venture, a welcome change from her usual drama-driven act. And says she enjoyed it thoroughly.
- Speaking about her experience, the Gangs Of Wasseypur actress explained why she opted for an item number: “I agreed to the song only because Akshay (Chaubey) asked me to. Also, he’s one of the very few in the industry who knows that I can dance. The pub-type number was catchy and I learned my moves within a couple of hours when the choreographer had scheduled an eight-hour shift to teach me the whole thing!”
- The item song has been composed by RDB.
- Incidentally, Akshay and Richa go back a long way. The debutant director who assisted Dibakar Banerjee during the making of Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! is also a friend of the actress’ brother and has known her for quite a long time now. Both hail from New Delhi and even the song is set in the neighbourhood that the two grew up in.
