the offbeat films she does. Whether it’s the female gangster she plays in Fukrey or the rebellious daughter-in-law from Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, she has experimented with numerous kinds of characters, and come out on top every single time. Her last big project, Masaan received rave reviews as well.

Does she feel bad that mainstream filmmakers are not collaborating with her enough for a leading role? “Look, if the producer is looking for a business of Rs 100 crore from a film, they need a star like Deepika Padukone to pull it off and it is purely a professional reason. I am okay with all that.”

She added, “I am not here to make money anyway. I want to leave a mark on every project that I take up, every film that I do.”

Richa does admit that she regretted choosing Sarbjit. “I would say that only in Sarbjit, I felt misused. I regretted choosing the film, but Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela was a great experience. My character was pretty substantial. As long as my choice of the film gives me a chance to do that, I will continue choosing quality,” she said.

As far as Masaan goes, it was a film that nobody wanted to be a part of, initially. So why did she? “Oh that’s easy. I have a brain. People mostly think about a character where they will get to look good, two song-dance sequences for visibility, but that is not how it works.”

She added, “I think it is the responsibility of an actor to add value and meaning to the character that is written in the script. We bring life to the characters through our performance.”

There aren’t too many artists in the film industry nowadays who are so dedicated to their skill, so hats off to you, Richa.

ARJUN ON WHAT GIVES HIM ‘A HIGH’

Actor Arjun Kapoor, who will be seen in an item number with his cousin Harshvardhan Kapoor in Bhavesh Joshi, says doing energetic songs gives him a high.

“It’s a big high for me to do such energetic songs. I believe in entertaining people through commercial stuff. It feels nice when they enjoy a song and feel it is full paisa vasool (worth every penny) for them,” Arjun said.

On the concept of the song, Arjun said: “It’s Fight Club meets Blade Runner meets Madmax meets Chikni Chameli. It’s just insane. It’s a proper male item song. I hate using the word but this truly is an item.”
