After Lust Stories, Sacred Games, Ghoul, Radhika Apte is all over Netflix. Watch tongue-in-cheek video
Radhika Apte has had a streak of Netflix successes - Lust Stories, Sacred Games and Ghoul - and even she can’t ignore the fact that she’s omnipresent. Watch fun new video.
Radhika Apte is everywhere, and even she knows it. The actor, who has appeared in three back-to-back Netflix projects - Lust Stories, Sacred Games and Ghoul - took part in a tongue-in-cheek video poking fun at her omnipresence.
The two-minute video, shared by Netflix India, is designed like a behind-the-scenes featurette in which Radhika talks about her talents pretending to be a pretentious diva. “As an artist, I like to push the envelope,” she says, as a makeup person applies lipstick on her. “When Netflix came to me with another offer, I was a bit reluctant,” she says.
The new project that she refers to - a fake one, remember - is called Omnipresent. And the executive producer of the imaginary enterprise, Vikramaditya Motwane, got her on board by offering her the opportunity to play every character in the film. “That got me interested,” Radhika says.
“So she’s playing the oppressed villager, the virtuous social activist, she’s playing the evil corporate oppressor,” says Motwane.
The video ends with Radhika readying herself for her shot, confused as to which character she is playing, and turning to the director for help - who also happens to be Radhika Apte.
