Radhika Apte: ‘You don’t have to beg international filmmakers for money’

Radhika Apte, who has proved her acting mettle through various power-packed performances in different films and shows over the past few years, will be next seen playing the role of British spy Noor Inayat Khan in Liberté: A Call To Spy.

When asked about the differences between the two industries, Radhika shared, “Filmmaking is a very subjective process and I think every director has their own way of working. But unfortunately, the two main differences I have noticed between the Indian filmmaking and international filmmaking are that people are very much punctual and are worked upon, and people pay you on time so you don’t have to beg them for money. These are the only two differences. Otherwise every director has its own way or process.”

As both, Radhika and the makers wanted her to get the nuances and the psyche of a spy right, the actress did several workshops, rehearsals and discussions, before she started shooting for the movie.

Directed by Lydia Dean Pilcher, the movie will see Apte as Noor Inayat Khan, an Indian princess, born to an Indian father and an American mother, who became the first Muslim female wireless operator for Britain in World War II.
