When the world was on pause during the second lockdown, actor Richa Chadha, not satisfied merely with becoming a producer, penned the script of a heartfelt dramedy in which she is set to star herself. The film is tentatively titled Akhri Somvaar. It is about a successful reality TV producer who becomes desperate to get married after someone at work calls her a ‘childless cat lady’.

Speaking about Aakhri Somwar, Richa Chadha shared, “From my experiences of growing up in a middle-classs Punjabi household, from my childhood, watching older cousins be set-up for arranged marriages, emerged this deeply personal story that I think a lot of families will resonate with. When we graduate from college, we are full of dreams and ambitions. Somehow those dreams get dulled when we enter the job market and before you know it, your are in your mid-30s hoping to have both a career and a husband/family but society thinks it’s too late and you become jaded because the dreams are now not achievable. It is a slice-of-life story, about coming undone and coming together. I think there is currently a dearth of family entertainment. And I think as an actor, my comic timing has been greatly under-utilized. Speaking as a producer, it is a monetizable asset”.
Aakhri Somwar promises to be a refreshing take on love, societal expectations, and the lengths one goes to for a dream wedding. Richa, however, remains tight-lipped about the director who has be chosen to helm this project.
