Richa Chadha-Ali Fazal Announce Psycho-Thriller ‘The Underbug’ as Their Second Home Production


Mumbai: Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal are ecstatic as their second home production, `The Underbug,` got a positive response at the Slamdance Film Festival in Los Angeles. The film, which was made under the banner of Pushing Buttons Studios, entered this independent film festival and garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences both.  

The movie is directed by Shujaat Saudagar and stars Ali and Hussain Dalal in lead roles. The film was shot during lockdowns in late 2020. The film was extensively shot in a house somewhere in the interior of Maharashtra. A psychological thriller, the story revolves around two characters who take refuge in an abandoned house.  

`The Underbug` is the first psychological horror movie from their production house. Owing to this it helped to create a cult for South Asian movies of a similar genre in front of a global audience. Richa said, “The movie got a great response and as creators of it we were there to witness it. It was a very proud moment for us, especially because it represented Indian cinema on such a huge global platform. This is a great time for cinema as Indian movies are getting wider reach with a global audience. The films of this genre are quite tricky since it has a very niche audience, but since it got such a positive response it kind of says it all.”
