Actors Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, who produced the critically acclaimed film Girls Will Be Girls, said that they broke their fixed deposits for the film. The film starring Kani Kusruti and Preeti Panigrahi was recently released in India on Prime Video after screening at several international film festivals.

Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, at a press event, spoke about financing their maiden



production. The Heeramandi actor said, "We are all from a country that is famous for its jugaad (quick fix); its ability to figure out a way to get things done. Honestly, we asked for money from here and there, and even broke our FDs to fund Girls Will be Girls. But we managed."

"For instance, this film was edited in France. It received a grant because of the core idea of the film," the Masaan actor added.
