Richa Chadha
The rationale behind casting Richa Chadha as a bar dancer for "Cabaret" was that the team wanted an excellent actor over a dancer, the film's director Kaustav Narayan Niyogi and producer Pooja Bhatt have said. As Richa has featured in films like "Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!", "Masaan", "Fukrey Returns" and "Love Sonia", the audience has never seen her flaunt her dancing skills.
On what made them choose Richa, Niyogi told IANS here: "Well, there was a tussle between choosing the actor based on the skill. We had to decide whether we are going to take an actor who can dance or a dancer who can act. Initially, I thought of someone who can really dance well... But when I looked at the story, we had to look at a character that starts her journey from the heartland of India and transforms herself into a bar dancer.
