What’s The Film About  

Helmed by Subhash Kapoor, Madam Chief Minister is a political drama. It also stars Akshay Oberoi and Shubhrajyoti. 

The film was originally scheduled to release on July 17, 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 global health scare.  

Other Details 

The film’s shooting took place in Lucknow in a 40-day start-to-finish schedule in 2019. 

In a press note, the makers had revealed that Subhash Kapoor chose Richa for the role because the actor is an “articulate, politically and socially aware actor”. 

Richa had said in a statement last year, “Happy to announce that our labour of love Madam Chief Minister has been announced. My toughest part yet, am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with particularly witty Subhash Sir and with the splendid cast Manav, Akshay Oberoi and Saurabh Shukla.”
