Richa Chadha take dig at ‘film leads with noses in air’: ‘When film released…’
The South Indian film industry, according to actor Richa Chadha, has ‘got their math right’ in terms of box office numbers and ticket prices. Richa slammed the Hindi film industry’s “greedy film distributors” in a new interview, claiming that their high ticket prices lead to a drop in theatre attendance. Even if the film is a hit, the actor added, ticket prices in the South Indian film industry are kept within a reasonable range.
Several films from the South Indian film industry were released in theatres and did well at the box office. RRR, directed by SS Rajamouli, grossed Rs 246 crore in four weeks at the box office. Within 16 days of its release, the film had surpassed the $1 billion mark worldwide. KGF Chapter 2, directed by Prashanth Neel, grossed 134.50 crore on its first day and went on to gross over 1000 crore.
“They’ve got their math right in terms of numbers and ticket prices,” Richa said in an interview with Indian Express. Because a very dedicated fan club of a south megastar ventures out and watches the film, A Master opens to such large audiences. Unlike the Hindi film industry and its greedy distributors, they keep the ticket price between $100 and $400 even if the film is a hit. However, footfall will decrease here due to a ticket price of more than $400. Food and beverage will be paid for by the audience. Naturally, the film industry will suffer. It all comes down to distribution.”
“I don’t see that happening here, unless you’re forced to,” Richa said of the need to control ticket pricing in Hindi films. Recently, a film was released with its leads holding their noses in the air, which I’m sure will be available on OTT soon. And when the first day’s collection arrived, it was less than a third of the hero’s charges. How will your math work out if this happens? These are the real questions to ask and then work from. If cinema is to survive, the larger stakeholders in the industry should shoulder the burden.”
Meanwhile, Richa is working on several projects, including Fukrey 3. Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, and Varun Sharma also star in the film. The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment and directed by Mrigdeep Singh Lamba. She’s also working on the fourth season of Inside Edge, as well as the second seasons of Candy and The Great Indian Murder.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”
In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
