Actor Richa Chadha is happy with the release of her latest film Panga which is receiving good responses from the audiences and critics alike. Richa plays the role of Kangana Ranaut's friend in the film and has been a vocal supporter of the student-led protests against CAA-NRC. 

In a recent interview, Richa opened up about working with Kangana and her political differences with her as Kangana has frequently sided with the government, and has often referred to the dissenters as members of the ‘tukde tukde gang’. "I have known Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s style of working and thoroughly enjoyed my role. It was different from the recent roles I had done and I really liked the story and wanted to be a part of it."

About working with Kangana and how was it on the set, Richa added, "Our synergy as actors worked well on-screen. We had a good time and it is not necessary that you make friends on all sets. At the end of the day, we are all here to give in our best." Director Ashwini Iyer had also cleared the air in the past when she had said that she does not hire actors based on their politics but based on their talent.

Kangana's sister Rangoli had also recently called out Richa and had called her a 'jobless actor'. Richa also responded to it all and said, "It is not necessary that your wavelengths and thoughts match with everyone, but I am happy that man and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but on sets, we are professionals. But I am happy that many citizens who are aware have come forward to lead the protests and spark a revolution of sorts. It’s an onward journey from hereon."

Panga was released to positive reviews but mediocre box office reception on January 24 when it locked horns with Varun Dhawan & Shraddha Kapoor starrer Street Dancer 3D.
