MUMBAI: Richa Chadha and Scam 1992-fame Pratik Gandhi are all set to team up for a new web series, which will be directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia. Richa, who was recently seen in political drama Madam Chief Minister, has received rave reviews for her performance in the film. For Pratik, it was after the release of Hansal Mehta's Scam 1992 that people started taking notice of the actor and his claim to stardom was overnight. With a star cast as good as this, we can only anticipate that something really promising is in store for us. 

Richa Chadha and Pratik Gandhi's web series will be an onscreen adaptation of the book Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup. Vikas Swarup is also the author of Slumdog Millionaire, which was turned into an Oscar-winning Hollywood film. The shooting of the web series will begin in March. The makers are yet to zero in on the supporting cast. Tigmanshu Dhulia, who has earlier helmed films like Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3, Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns and Shagird, will be directing the web series. However, the title of the series has not been decided yet.
