Mumbai
April 8,2018
Actress Richa Chadha says essaying a politician in Sudhir Mishra's "Daas Dev"
was an interesting challenge for her.
Richa plays Paro in the film, set
against the political backdrop of Uttar Pradesh.
"As an actor, I work
hard to get into the skin of every character I play. Paro resonates with me
personally and I find many of her traits true to mine. An interesting challenge
was learning and absorbing how to play a woman politician and to this end, I did
a fair amount of research," Richa said in a statement.
On her look for
the role, she said: "It is always crucial, and so, a part of my research was on
how to comprehensively look like a young woman politician who would be taken
seriously."
The 31-year-old actress' costume design team also
incorporated handloom, a trademark significant to politicians in India.
"We decided to incorporate Indian weaves, khadi, cotton and elegant saris after
researching the look extensively. Paro has always been an iconic character
(courtesy 'Devdas'), but with 'Daas Dev', Paro can once again become the icon of
today," said Richa.
"Daas Dev" also features Rahul Bhat, Aditi Rao
Hydari, Saurabh Shukhla, Vipin Sharma, Dalip Tahil, Deep Raj Rana, Anil Sharma
and Sohaila Kapoor.
Anurag Kashyap and Vineet Singh will be seen in guest
appearances in the film, which will release on April 20.
