Richa Chadda's 'Cabaret' inspired by Helen?

After nearly two years of intensive searching, Pooja Bhatt chose Richa Chadda to play the lead role in her next Cabaret.

The film, as the title suggests is about the dance form and will require her to perform the dance form, something she has been training really hard for. However, speculation is rife that the film is inspired by yesteryear actress and cabaret queen Helen’s life.

While Pooja hasn’t mentioned that the film draws parallels with her life, what’s interesting is that Richa was recently spotted reading Helen: The Life And Times Of An H-Bomb, her biography written by Jerry Pinto. Now, we don’t know if she was reading it as homework or if it was a coincidence.
