With audiences still praising Radhika Apte for an incredible performance alongside Rajinikanth, which would be spoken of for years to come, DC speaks to the actress about life after Kabali.
Q How was it acting alongside the Superstar?
Rajinikanth is someone who is very professional when it comes to acting. It was, a great experience working with the team altogether.
Q It is a dream for many actresses to work with Rajinikanth. Now that you have accomplished this with Kabali, who do you think you want to act with next?
No, not at all. I do not have any such preferences. I sign a project based on the role and content. Nothing else.
Q You choose a range of movies from commercial ones to something like Parched. How do you go about accepting a project?
I don’t think in that sense. If I hear a script and if I like the film and the role, I do it. As far as rejection goes, it is pretty much the same thing I said earlier — content is all that matters to me.
Q Ahalya then Kriti; What is your particular affinity towards short films?
To me platforms don’t make any difference. It doesn’t matter if it is a short film or a feature film. Even now if Sujoy Ghosh (director of Kahaani and Ahalya) asks me to work in a short film, I will very well act in one.
Q You are one of the few actresses who is married and still pursuing acting. How do you manage the work-life balance?
It is pretty much the same as everyone else. How does a journalist manage work and life? There is nothing different about this profession either.
