"I feel blessed to have worked on this film... to have a character that's so black that it's lovable... to play a woman that's empowered and hence memorable... true, it doesn't fit into the neat little boxes, but who wants to live in a box anyway," Richa said in a statement.
The film is a sequel to 2013 comedy film "Fukrey".
Directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, the film also features Ali Fazal, Varun Sharma, Manjot Singh and Pulkit Samrat.
"Fukrey Returns" has been shot across various locations in New Delhi, South Africa and Mumbai.
Richa will reprise her role of Bholi Punjaban, one of the most beloved comical characters as the Delhi street don.
