Pooja Bhatt's ambitious project Cabaret has not been able to see the light since the director was unable to rope in a suitable actress for the lead role. After looking for a new face for some time, Pooja has finally decided to rope in Richa Chadha as the leading lady in her film.

According to a leading website, Pooja said that it is a very difficult role and Richa's face kept returning to her mind. She feels that Richa's sensual side needs to be tapped. Pooja met Richa and asked her to play the lead in Cabaret.

Pooja is also aware that Richa will have to work very hard to get the cabaret dancer's body language right. She has also asked her brother Rahul Bhatt, who is a fitness trainer, to personally train Richa so that she looks perfect for the role.

The film will be directed by Kaustav Narayan Niyogi and will star Gulshan Devaiah opposite Richa. Cabaret will also see Deepak Tijori and Mukul Dev in pivotal roles.
