One of Bollywood`s most loved couples Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal have recently turned producers and started their own creator`s lab. The work on their first project has commenced. While Fazal has been the lead in the Hollywood film `Victoria and Abdul` alongside Dame Judi Dench and will be seen in Kenneth Branagh`s magnum opus `Death on the Nile` later this year. He is also a member of the Academy. Richa Chadha, too, has travelled with her films to Cannes and been on the jury of international film festivals at Marrakech and Nara, Japan.
Their newly christened company `Pushing Buttons Studios` aims to tell stories rooted in the Indian ethos for a global audience. The first script to be green-lit under their banner is titled `Girls Will Be Girls` and is written and will be directed by debutant Shuchi Talati. `Girls Will Be Girls` is the only Indian script invited to the prestigious Berlinale Script Station 2021 - a lab that selects only 10 projects from around the world each year. It is also the only Indian project at the Jerusalem Script Lab this year where it will be presented formally at the Jerusalem Film Festival in July. Previously, Ritesh Batra’s second film, Photograph, had also participated in the same programme.
