It has taken five years and three waves of the pandemic to finally take the much-awaited third instalment of Fukrey back on the floors. As Richa Chadha gears up to play the iconic part of Bholi Punjaban, she tells us, &ldquo;I have missed [playing] Bholi. It is an eternally fun character to play, and can be reprised anytime.&rdquo;

The third edition picks up from where it left off in the second instalment, that saw Bholi Punjaban behind bars. She says, &ldquo;In the first film, she was a drug peddler and in the next she goes to jail. Naturally, the subsequent step is to join politics. That is where the film starts again.&rdquo; Chadha, who has had several readings of the script and did an &ldquo;exhaustive round of look tests&rdquo; for the role, is proud that the makers took the right decision to push the shoot of the film owing to the pandemic. &ldquo;It would have been insensitive to shoot the film in those times. The team took a call to postpone the film two weeks before the second wave hit.&rdquo;
Already shooting for Fukrey in the north, Chadha jokes that it would be cooler to make a Fast and Furious franchise with her character. &ldquo;Bholi in Mexico, Bholi in Tokyo&hellip; [laughs]. The milieu is integral and gives it a distinct flavour to the films. For that reason alone, we had to be geographically specific,&rdquo; explains the actor, who recently played an honest character in Disney+ Hotstar&rsquo;s Great Indian Murder. &ldquo;I feel characters come to me because of how I am in my personal life. An artiste brings his/her own energy to every character and modifies&nbsp; it depending on the written word,&rdquo; she adds.
