Radhika Apte is Rajinikanths Heroine in His 159th Film
A report in the Hindustan Times quoted the 29-year-old actress as saying, “It will take some time to sink in. I don’t think there is anybody bigger than Rajini sir. And the director, Pa Ranjith, is exceptionally good. So I was extremely thrilled that it has worked out. And I am super excited to finally meet Rajinikanth.”
Radhika, whose CV includes several southern language films, is the fourth Bollywood actress to be cast opposite Rajinikanth after Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Enthiran, Deepika Padukone in Kochadaiiyaan and Sonakshi Sinha in Lingaa.
Last month, news agencies reported that Radhika was in talks for the part. “Radhika has been approached to play the leading lady, but nothing has been finalised yet. The first round of talks has happened,” a source from the film’s unit told news agency IANS.
The untitled film, directed by the two-film-old Pa Ranjith, is Rajinikanth’s 159th movie and will begin filming in Malaysia this month.
