Actress Richa Chadha on Wednesday started shooting here for Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's Panga, based on sport kabaddi. Richa Chadha along with the entire team is shooting for the film on the streets of Bhopal. The shooting began here from Wednesday.
It is to be noted that this is the first time that Richa has collaborated with ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ director Ashiwiny Tiwari. It also stars Kangana Ranaut and Pankaj Tripathi.
Panga is Richa and Pankaj's eight film together. They had starred in movies like Gangs of Wasseypur and Masaan. "I'm excited to be joining the team... 'Panga' is a very exciting project for me as it's unlike anything I have done before. I have personally always wanted to be a part of a sports film," Richa said in a statement.
"Ashwiny and Nitesh (Tiwari) have written a very special film and I'm glad to be on board and begin filming in Bhopal," she added.
Richa was last seen in Fukhrey Returns. In this film Kangana Ranaut is also playing a pivotal role as a kabbadi player. ‘Panga’ is reportedly the story of a new-age family that challenges stereotypes and dares to dream. It promises to reaffirm the belief that nothing is impossible for a family which laughs, cries and dreams together.
