Richa Chadha Looks "Unstoppable" In New Poster Of Upcoming Film 'Madam Chief Minister'

Richa Chadha took to social media on Monday to share a new poster of her upcoming film Madam Chief Minister, set to release theatrically on January 22. The political-drama, which reportedly revolves around an "untouchable" woman who rises the ranks against all odds, has been directed by Subhash Kapoor. A broom-wielding Chadha takes centre stage in the newly released poster as an "untouchable, unstoppable" force, while co-stars Manav Kaul and Saurabh Shukla flank each side.

Chadha seems to be sporting cropped hair in Madam Chief Minister, an avatar fans of the actor have never been treated to before. Sharing the poster, she wrote on Twitter, "Glad to present to you all, my new movie #MadamChiefMinister, a political drama about an 'untouchable' who hustles and makes it big in life!"
