Chitrangda to star in Neeraj Pandey’s next
Akash Bhatnagar (HINDUSTAN TIMES; August 7, 2024)

Actor Chitrangda Singh, who was seen in Gaslight last year and has a cameo in the Akshay Kumar-starrer Khel Khel Mein, has signed an OTT project. We have exclusively learnt that she will be seen in filmmaker Neeraj Pandey’s upcoming web show.

Confirming the same to us, Singh tells us, “I am offered many web projects, but I feel hesitant in committing to something that is half-baked, especially when it comes to OTT. It’s a longer format and needs a certain kind of writing. I am currently shooting for Khakee: The Bengal Chapter with Neeraj Pandey and I am quite excited about it. I am also about to sign a film and get back to the commercial space.”

In her two-decade-long acting career, Singh’s filmography has been limited, owing to her choice of projects. “When I wasn’t getting good offers and the kind of work I wanted to do, I produced Soorma (2018). Even now, I am developing projects and hopefully, by the end of the year, we should be able to put two projects into work — a web series and a feature film,” says the actor-producer.

Singh adds that the current uncertain box-office scenario has made it quite challenging to be a producer: “We’ve been struggling for the last three-four years. The pandemic derailed everything and even now, people are struggling to get back on their feet. It makes things more difficult, especially for someone like me who is a passion producer. But I’ve been trying and only those who fight can survive in this industry.”
