Richa Chadda set to topline an action thriller

Last seen in the Pooja Bhatt-produced romantic thriller Cabaret (2019), which premiered on popular OTT platform ZEE5, Richa Chadda has now signed up to headline an action thriller. The untitled project will be the first-ever action thriller film for the talented actress.

Though the details of the project are being kept under wraps, we hear that a U.S. based debutant filmmaker will call the shots for it. Chadda has been roped in to play an undercover agent in the film. She will undergo extensive training sessions to get into the skin of the character as she is required to perform some high-octane action sequences on her own.


According to reports, the yet-to-be-titled project will be shot in Mumbai and Delhi. The makers are looking at commencing production in the month of November. “Richa will be doing intense training for the film including kickboxing, agility training and conditional strength training. The film will go on floors in November,” a source close to the development reveals.

Apart from this project, Richa Chadda has a few more exciting films on her platter at the moment. She will next be seen in Section 375: Marzi Ya Jabardasti, a crime thriller bankrolled by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak and directed by Ajay Bahl. Shakeela and Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai are some of her other upcoming releases.

The actress is also gearing up for the premiere of the Amazon Prime Video series Inside Edge 2. She will begin 2020 with the release of her hugely anticipated film Panga, co-starring Kangana Ranaut and Jassi Gill. The film, helmed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, is scheduled to release on 10th January, 2020.

47% consumers are cancelling subscriptions: Is the $1.5 trillion economy starting to crack?

  • Streaming platforms are shifting aggressively to ad-supported tiers
  • Consumers underestimate subscription spending by up to 3x
  • Gen Z is normalising “subscribe-use-cancel” behaviour

Subscription businesses sold consumers a simple idea for years. Paying £9.99 every month felt easier than paying £300 upfront. That logic helped create a global subscription economy now valued at more than $1.5 trillion, spanning streaming, music, cloud storage, AI tools, fitness apps, gaming and even coffee memberships.

But the model that once looked unstoppable is entering a difficult phase as inflation, price fatigue and changing consumer behaviour collide. Around 47% of consumers cancelled at least one subscription this year, according to recent subscription industry surveys, while companies are increasingly shifting focus from rapid growth to customer retention.
