Fukrey 3: Richa Chadha Talks About Her Character Bholi Punjaban; Reveals When Film Will Go On Floors

The Fukrey franchise is undoubtedly one of the most unexpected hits of recent times. Featuring Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Ali Fazal, Manjot Singh and Richa Chadha, the first film saw a poor opening but went on to become a sleeper hit. Sequel Fukrey 2 saw a better opening day and was even called ‘funnier’. Well, the upcoming installment, which is tentatively titled Fukrey 3, is one of the most awaited Bollywood films. Fans are eagerly waiting to see Richa aka Bholi Punjaban shine on the big screen along with the Fukrey boys.

In a recent chat with Mid Day, Richa revealed that the film is expected to go on floors in spring 2021. She shared, “The dates are yet to be locked. Bholi Punjaban, as a character, has evolved in each instalment. Every time she comes on screen, she shows us a new facet of her. There's something warm about this film, and I can't wait to reunite with my favourite boys.”

Talking about why the franchise holds a special place in her heart, Richa stated, “I met Ali for the first time while working on this film.” She went on to add, “We already have so much sadness and toxicity around that comedies have a great appeal. Fukrey has amassed a stronger fan base among children, courtesy the new animated show [Fukrey Boyzzz] based on the film. My sheer love for our director Mrighdeep and writer Vipul Vig drives me to be part of this film.”
