Naturally, Flora burns up the screen with her raw sexuality and erotic appeal, but make no mistake, she's a powerhouse of talent and matches Nitesh's nuanced performance step for step. Together they are both funny, charismatic and share weird chemistry of a couple who are completely out of sync.
The director of the film, Award-winning adman and filmmaker, Ambar Chakravarty says, `Chaddi has a very positive, liberating message packaged in a fun and entertaining short film. The film makes a bold statement about female sexuality and the hypocritical nature of society when it comes to dealing with the issues of female sexual awakening and homophobia in today's day and age. Flora has done a stunning job of portraying the bored and lonely housewife who is not afraid of her sexuality and desires and Nitesh as the overbearing husband is as amazing as ever! The song also adds a funny and insightful dimension to the whole narrative while carrying the film forward.`
The film is produced by Addict Studios and has received an immense response since its release on Valentine's Day, garnering more than 4 lakh views in just 3 days. Its already asking a lot of pertinent questions and starting new conversations on social media regarding women's sexuality and homophobia in today's world.
