We had earlier reported that the shoot of Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Fukrey 2 has been pushed to December. The Fukrey sequel, which was supposed to have been shot in October, was pushed by a couple of months because Ali Fazal had allotted his dates for Victoria and Abdul featuring Hollywood star Judi Dench. Now it seems like the film is going to hit another roadblock.
A source close to the film reveals, “Richa Chadda has now received invitations to be a part of the jury for two international film festivals — one in Moscow this December, and the other in Spain in January. The actress will mostly attend both these festivals despite having committed to Fukrey 2. Naturally, the producers aren’t happy with her decision. They requested her not to go, but Richa is very keen to take up the offer. In all probability, she will honour the invitation.” The film, to be helmed by its original director Mrigdeep Singh Lamba will feature the original cast including Ali Fazal, Varun Sharma, Richa Chadda, Pulkit Samrat and Manjot Singh.
