Actress Radhika Apte will next be seen in Karan Kandhari’s "Sister Midnight". As the versatile diva read the script for the first time, she thought that it was the kind of film that offered the space to experiment.
She said, "It felt very exciting. It was very honest. Karan just had written exactly what he wanted to make without thinking about other things. Like, what would commercial producers think of it? It was solely his vision. There is such sparse dialogue, a lot had to be conveyed through just face and body. I thought that this is that kind of a film where you get to experiment, you really get to try something new.”
Sharing his experience of working with Radhika, the filmmaker revealed, “It was the greatest relationship and collaboration I’ve had with an actor ever. And it was like having the best imaginary friend to play with."
"The types of performances I go after are quite specific. It’s all behavioural and about removing the intellectual approach to it. Everything Uma does is sort of impulsive and in the present moment. With Radhika, my work was to constantly root ourselves in the body, in the present moment, and react from instinct and intuition.” he added.
