Actor
Richa
Chadha
is
thrilled
to
star
in
filmmaker
Tigmanshu
Dhulia's
upcoming
series
Six
Suspects
and
says
the
murder
mystery
features
her
in
a
complex
character
of
an
upright
investigating
officer
trying
to
make
her
way
in
the
male-dominated
system.
Co-starring
Pratik
Gandhi,
Six
Suspects
will
premiere
on
Disney
+
Hotstar.
The
series
is
an
adaptation
of
author
Vikas
Swarup's
2008
novel
of
the
same
name.
The
show
has
been
produced
by
Ajay
Devgn
Ffilms
and
Reel
Life
Entertainment.
Chadha,
known
for
her
performances
in
films
like
Masaan
and
Fukrey,
said
the
show
presented
her
with
the
opportunity
to
work
with
Dhulia,
her
co-star
from
Gangs
of
Wasseypur.
"My
part
in
Six
Suspects
is
extremely
layered
and
complex.
She
is
an
upright
investigating
officer
who
is
trying
to
make
it
work
in
the
male
dominated
investigation
space...
I
have
wanted
to
work
with
Tigmanshu
Dhulia
for
a
while,
since
Paan
Singh
Tomar.
This
is
also
based
on
a
good
book.
So
you
will
see
a
lot
of
shades
in
my
character," Chadha,
34,
told
reporters.
She
was
speaking
at
a
special
virtual
event
of
Disney
+
Hotstar,
where
the
streamer
announced
its
upcoming
slate
of
films
and
original
series.
Chadha,
who
made
her
digital
debut
in
2017
with
Inside
Edge,
credited
the
arrival
of
streaming
platforms
for
pushing
the
envelope
of
inventive
storytelling.
"I
am
blessed
to
find
these
amazing
characters
on
OTT.
Films
have
the
pressure
of
box
office,
but
here
content
rules
supreme
and
we
get
to
discover
hidden
gems
like
Partik.
I
am
really
happy
we
are
working
together.
The
kind
of
stories
you
can't
imagine
in
cinema,
we
are
able
to
share
such
narratives
on
OTT.
It
is
a
great
time
for
talent,"
she
said.
Six
Suspects
marks
the
first
on-screen
collaboration
between
Chadha
and
Gandhi,
who
shot
to
fame
with
Hansal
Mehta's
series
Scam
1992:
The
Harshad
Mehta
Story,
last
year.
Gandhi,
without
divulging
any
details
about
his
character,
said
Six
Suspects
features
him
in
a
role
that
is
different
from
anything
he
has
attempted
in
his
career
of
16
years.
"The
genre
is
also
something
that
I
have
not
explored.
I
am
sure
the
audience
will
see
me
in
a
new
avatar.
Even
I
was
surprised
with
myself
while
I
was
shooting
for
the
show
because
I
have
not
played
a
part
like
this,"
he
added.
Six
Suspects
would
be
the
actor's
first
Hindi
series
post
the
nation-wide
success
of
Scam
and
Gandhi
said,
more
than
being
under
pressure,
he
is
touched
by
the
audience's
constant
love.
"It
is
definitely
satisfying
and
encouraging
because
the
kind
of
love,
appreciation
and
support
that
I
got
from
the
audience
is
immense.
I
never
imagined
this
happening
in
the
first
(Hindi)
project
of
mine,
though
I
was
doing
theatre
and
regional
cinema
for
the
last
16
years.
I
felt
whatever
I
was
doing
until
now
was
correct,"
he
added.
