Richa Chadha opens up on working in Hollywood aiming to follow husband 'Ali Fazal’s footsteps': 'He’s just been so amazing'

Since her debut in 2008, Richa Chadha has steadily built a distinctive place in Bollywood with her bold and unconventional performances. Nearly twenty years later, the actress feels it’s time to expand her horizons and pursue new possibilities in Western cinema. She wants to make her mark in international films, inspired by her husband Ali Fazal, who has acted in movies like ‘Furious 7’ (2015), ‘Victoria & Abdul’ (2017), ‘Death on the Nile’ (2022), and ‘Kandahar’ (2023).As reported in Hindustan Times, she said, “I would love to follow in Ali’s footsteps and get something concrete in the West. Who doesn’t want that? He’s just been so amazing at straddling both worlds. Seeing him handle both worlds so beautifully is simply amazing in its own way.” Having already worked on several international projects, Richa isn’t entirely new to the global film scene. Her performances in ‘Words with Gods’ (2014), an Indian-Mexican-American production, the Indo-French film ‘Masaan’ (2015), and the Indo-American drama ‘Love Sonia’ (2018) introduced her to audiences beyond India. This time, however, she has a clearer vision for her international journey. “If I get a good script and character, working in Hollywood would definitely be something that I would love to do,” she adds.On the professional front, Richa Chadha’s next project is still under wraps. Meanwhile, Ali Fazal is set to return as Guddu Bhaiya in the upcoming film adaptation of the ‘Mirzapur’ series.
