Her 13-year career so far has seen her headline projects belonging to various genres. However, a slick psychological thriller eluded Richa Chadha. It was enough reason for her to grab Candy with both hands when it came her way. That the series, which revolves around murders taking place in a hill station, marries suspense with superstitions and gender dynamics was another draw. 

“I wanted to play a cop for a long time. Here, I essay one who is trying to crack the case while the residents of the town believe [the murders are] the work of a supernatural force. My character has had a tragedy in the past, and this is a punishment posting,” says Chadha, who is joined by Ronit Roy in the Voot Select offering.
