Richa Chadha and director Arati Kadav are soon to collaborate for their first project together. The director is known for her marvellous work in the sci-fi space and her film ‘Cargo’ which released on Netflix recently earned rave reviews. This new project shot from home during the lockdown stars Richa Chadha and Mrinal Dutt. The story is about, seconds before a meteor hits earth, an awkward man confesses his love to his college crush on a farewell call with his school friends. The film uses a unique sci-fi concept mixed with human connect and emotions in a 20 minutes short. The film is set to release on Amazon Prime Video in the US and UK and is expected to release in India soon. Richa said, “Arati has a strongly unique imagination and a point of view which is what makes her a great director to collaborate with. Science fiction for me has always been a point of intrigue as a genre. And the realm of it meeting the idea of apocalypse is very exciting. The project was a great experiment to be part of during the lockdown as the story is smartly woven into the narrative of a virtual shoot”.
Arati Kadav added, “‘55 km/sec’ was a film we wrote during the pandemic, during the initial complete lockdown. The idea was to cheer ourselves up during that phase but we actually ended up having lots of fun.”
