Richa Chadha is set to turn director with a documentary on trafficking survivors

The actor-turned-director crossover is now commonplace in Hindi cinema and the latest celeb to join the bandwagon is Richa Chadha. The Masaan actress, however, isn't trying her hand at making a feature film, but a socially-relevant documentary, we hear.

Sources reveal that her film revolves around trafficked women and their struggles to escape flesh trade. `Richa has conceptualised the documentary and wants to motivate women to come out of the illegal business,` says a source.

Richa apparently has been interviewing some of the rescued girls and women in and around Mumbai for her documentary. `Most of it has already been shot. She has also enlisted the help of an NGO to complete the project,` the source informs.

Richa confirms the story and says, `Yes, I am making a documentary to spread awareness against this illicit business and encourage trafficking survivors to start afresh. I am planning to release it by the month-end.`
