talked about film Ram Leela, says the director advised her to be
careful with her choice of films.
Directed by Bhansali, Ram Leela is a romance-drama featuring Ranveer Singh
and Deepika Padukone in the lead. The
film is said to be an adaptation of Shakespeare's epic play 'Romeo Juliet'.
"He is a legendary director... He has worked with big actors Amitabh
Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, others. He is great at his job.
He advised me to be careful with my choices as I am in a good place,"
Richa said.
"He is a tough task master. But he was
gentle towards his actors. He is short-
tempered with his assistants and others. Whenever Deepika and I used
to act... do our scenes, he expected magic from us," she said.
Richa's first meeting did not go that well
with Bhansali as he was disappointed
with the actress.
"I was promoting Gangs of Wasseypur and he wanted to meet me. I was
dressed in a western outfit, while he was looking for an Indianised
girl. He seemed disappointed initially," Richa said, adding that she
was initially sceptical about doing the much- awaited film.
"Later, he expressed his desire that he
wanted only me for this role. So, in a way I was confused if I should
do the film or not," the Gangs of Wasseypur actress said.
Richa refrained from divulging details
about the film, but insisted she is playing a significant role. She
only revealed that most of her scenes are with Deepika.
"She is a very talented, incredibly hard
working and committed actress. I admire her work," she added.
Ram Leela, which also features Abhimanyu Shekhar Singh, Shweta Salve
and Barkha Bisht Sengupta, is scheduled to release on November 29.
For Richa, it has been a busy year as she
has been shooting for Ram Leela and Pooja Bhatt's Bad. Her other
releases in the pipeline are Tamanchey, Mira Nair's short film and a
romantic project opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh.
