"It is a good time for female actors because there is greater acceptability. I also feel meaty roles are being
written for actresses. I loved 'Queen', 'NH10' and 'Piku'... Great roles for women are there right now," the actress told PTI.

Richa, 26, is happy to be a part of 'Masaan', whose story is set in Varanasi, as she feels it is high time films
utilised modest backdrops.

"It is about time that films with modest settings and real characters got made because in the past we have seen
movies set in foreign locations, big cities... Now it is the time to see the more rooted stories," she said.

The 'Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!' actress, who is known for preferring meaty roles over big banners and a film's
commercial value, said she cannot star in any movie if her character does not make sense to her.

"I will do a big budget film provided my role is substantial because I have to have fun doing a movie, I have
to make sense. I am fairly selective.

"You will be seeing a lot more of me now but every film has its destiny. I have done some films, which are yet to
release," she said.

Richa will be next seen Pooja Bhatt's 'Cabaret', 'Main Aur Charles' and Sudhir Mishra's 'Aur Devdas'.
