The teaser of Pooja Bhatt`s directorial venture `Cabaret` starring Richa Chadha is out!

"Richa`s character in the film is a very strong character. She is the hero of the film. She is the whole and soul of the film," Pooja Bhatt had said in an interview earlier.

Richa had fallen ill after she had smoked cigarettes for a scene in the film, since she is a non-smoker in real life. She had to take a break of a couple of days to get back to the sets.

Considering the title, it is obvious that the film will draw references to veteran cabaret dancer Helen. But Pooja denied that it is inspired from Helen`s life.

The film has been directed by Kaustav Narayan Niyogi and produced by Pooja Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar. The film also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Rahul Roy and cricketer S. Sreesanth.
