Real life couple Richa Chadha-Ali Fazal to romance on screen for the first time

Real-life couple, Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha are all set to romance each other on the big screen now! No, they are not playing out their love story, but the two actors have been roped in for a rom-com to be directed by an LA-based filmmaker. While the discussions were on for a while now, the project was finalised last week when the two were holidaying in Switzerland.

Though Ali and Richa have shared screen space in Fukrey and Fukrey Returns, this will be the first time that the two will be paired opposite each other. Says a source, “Richa and Ali met the filmmaker in Geneva last week and locked all the details. A romantic-dramedy, it’s an indie project set in India and the US. The shooting of the yet-to-be-titled film will start in September.”

Incidentally, it was last year in September that the duo, who started dating during the making of Fukrey, made their relationship public. Since then the two have gone on several holidays together and early this year Richa accompanied Ali to Venice for the world premiere of his Hollywood film Victoria & Abdul. The two have also been posting lovey-dovey pictures on social media.
