Richa Chadha will star alongside British actor William Moseley in ‘Ainaa’, an upcoming Indian-UK co-production.

The film, directed by Markus Meedt, is a social drama about the effects of war violence on people and society as a whole.

On Wednesday evening, the film’s creators officially launched and announced the project at the prestigious House of Lords in London, PTI reported from Mumbai.

”I’m excited to be working in a new part of the world, I like to experiment. They have put together an impressive crew of the best talent from India and the UK. It’s truly going to be a collaborative effort to embark on a film that deals with such an important subject,” Chadha, 36, said in a statement.

”We are currently in London prepping for the film with the shooting expected to commence on June 2nd. I have always strived for a challenging role and this one sure is one of the toughest parts I have taken up,” she added.

William Moseley is best known for starring in ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ films, in which he played the role of Peter Pevensie. He previously featured in Indian movie ‘Margarita With A Straw’, directed by Shonali Bose and starring Kalki Koechlin.
