The throwback interview

In the interview with Film Companion, she also shared her views on the changes she wants to see within the Indian film industry.
Radhika's take on Nepotism
While keeping her views, she referred about the big issue of hiring an actor for a movie. According to Radhika, the makers always looks for a bag full of talented sound designers, editors and cinematographers for new projects but they never want the same with the actors, "they want a star", she stated. “I'd like to give actors more value in the industry. In the sense that you want the best cinematographer, you want the best sound designer, but you don't want the best actor. You want a star. Always,” she further added. Continuing her perspective she quoted, "If a cinematographer wants to better his craft, he has to learn more. Actors who want to better their game, they have to more exercise, dress better, get clicked more, and do thingies on their faces. They don’t go for courses or for coaching, for performance you know because that’s not valued. They go like ‘That’s a star kid, or this is somebody being promoted by somebody, cast them, acting to karwa lenge.’ And then they say, actors are dumb. Stuff like that. And I find it very annoying. The actual craft is not respected at all".
Meanwhile, talking about her workfront, Radhika was last seen in the sequel of super hit series 'Made in Heaven' season 2 as Pallavi Menke. The 'Ghoul' actress is also prepping her up for a cameo appearance in Merry Christmas, helmed by Raghavan starring along-side Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif.
