While promoting her upcoming film The Raja Saab with Prabhas, Riddhi opened up about her dream during a recent media interaction. 鈥淚 wish to play Rekha ji in her biopic, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. That is my dream project,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 even wrote him a letter 鈥 like, a coffee-dipped, hand-curated, burnt-edges, vintage letter with a sealed stamp. I hope he鈥檚 watching this interview and reads the letter… and casts me as Rekha in his film.鈥
When asked whether Rekha inspired her to pursue acting, Riddhi had a thoughtful answer: 鈥淚 really like Rekha ji as an individual鈥攚hat it means to be the embodiment of being unabashedly yourself. But my love for acting comes from a deeper place. I鈥檝e always been drawn to the arts鈥攑ainting, writing, dancing, singing. I even do oil painting. Acting, to me, is the ultimate form of self-expression鈥攊t brings together body, voice, soul, and emotion.鈥
Meanwhile, fans will soon see Riddhi on screen in The Raja Saab, a romantic horror comedy directed by Maruthi, starring Prabhas in a dual role alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Malavika Mohanan (in her Telugu debut). Produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment, the film is set to release on 5 December 2025. Until then, we鈥檒l be watching to see if Bhansali picks up that beautifully crafted letter!
