Amid coronavirus lockdown, many filmmaker and actors came together to show their talent by just staying at home. Among them is Richa Chadha, who recently shot for a short film by staying home. The talented actor joined hands with Cargo helmer Arati Kadav. Titled 55 kms/sec, the film has been entirely shot on an iPhone. The movie is about living in a world that is on the edge which the title also indicates.
The lead actor of the film, Richa recently said in a statement, "Arati is an engineer turned filmmaker. She has an interesting vision and is aces at science fiction stuff, as well as portraying the human connections. I loved collaborating with her and the actor Mrinal Dutt. This was a challenging shoot as we had to do everything ourselves, from hair and makeup to recording sound but it was well worth the effort. I am happy that we were able to create something thought-provoking and beautiful even in these grim times."
While Arati stated, "While we are all bracing ourselves for the new normal, we made this short film as a fun exercise. It was a great idea and my team and I saw it as a way of continuing to work to cheer ourselves up. I met some spectacular and fantastic people on our virtual set. We are happy that we all could remotely come together for something that was a warm, beautiful, humbling, and unifying experience."
On the movie front, Richa will last seen in Panga which released earlier this year.
