Radhika is upbeat about her upcoming film Kontract that has Arjun Sarja and JD Chakravarthy as her lead pairs. Speaking about the movie in an interview to the Times of India, she had said, “I am paired alongside two heroes, JD Chakravarthy and Arjun Sarja in Kontract. In many ways, I can say that the film revolves majorly around me. I had a great time shooting for this film, because my director Sameer is very soft spoken and a gem of a person. Usually, a director is harsh and tries to order people around. But, Sameer is extremely soft-natured and it was a wonderful experience working with him.”
On working with JD Chakravarthy, she had said, “When I first saw JD Chakravarthy, I was apprehensive on how I would strike a rapport. As an artiste, we need to have an understanding to react when working in a scene. He didn't talk much on the first day. But I understood it was his nature and he does not talk too much. Now, though, we connect over cinema as he is as passionate about films as I am. He shares a lot of knowledge and facts on the set and we connected on cinema.”
Written, directed and produced by SS Sameer, the film is a bilingual made in Kannada and Tamil under the title Iruvar Oppantham. Subhash Anand is composing music for this film with Aamir Lal cranking the camera and Govardhan editing it. The shooting of Kontract / Oppantham is currently on and the release date would be announced once it has been finalised, we hear.
Radhika made her debut with the Kannada movie Ninagagi in 2002 and has acted in a number of Kannada and Tamil movies till date and also has a Telugu movie to her credit.
