Richa Chadda received much appreciation for her recent film, Gangs of Wasseypur, and now we hear she’s all set for another film – Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s much talked about Ram Leela!

She is being considered for the second female lead, which means the role for the Gujju Juliet is still very much up for grabs. This role was supposed to be originally done by Kareena Kapoor, but citing monetary issues on her part (and marriage issues on Bhansali’s part), she walked out of the film. Now, both Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are apparently vying for this role.

BTW, apparently when Richa went to Bhansali’s office, the Ram Leela mock-ups still had pictures of Kareena on it. Possible, then, that Bebo may be making a return to the film… but we think the likelier answer is that they just hadn’t changed it yet, since a new lead has not been cast!
