Radhika Apte is busy preparing for her Hollywood project Liberte: A Call to Spy. The film is based on true incidents from World War II, and the actor will be seen essaying the role of a British spy, Noor Inayat Khan aka Nora Baker, who was the first female wireless operator to parachute into Nazi-occupied France to help the French Resistance.
Radhika has been doing a lot of research for her character. “I have been reading novels from the time and watching a lot of spy thrillers to get into the skin and psyche of the character. The writers and producers on board helped me a lot with the reading material”, the actor told DNA.
She also noticed a striking difference between Bollywood and Hollywood. “It is a subjective process. Every director and production house has their own way of working. However, in Hollywood people are very punctual and they will always pay you on time. You don’t have to beg for money”, Radhika added.
Recently, some intimate scenes of Radhika Apte and Dev Patel, from their Hollywood film, The Wedding Guest, went viral, with a video clip and a few pictures being circulated on the internet.
Radhika isn’t amused by this, and said in an interview to an online portal that she attributed it to “the psychotic mentality of the society”.
