Since her debut in the 2005 film Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi! Pune-born Radhika Apte has worked in multiple language films — Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi. Now, set to make her foray in Hollywood she said she always desired to do international cinema. Radhika will be seen in Michael Winterbottom’s The Wedding Guest with Slumdog Millionaire breakout star Dev Patel and also feature in producer-turned-director Lydia Dean’s untitled World War II spy drama, with Stana Katic and Sarah Megan Thomas. She has already started to shoot for the spy drama. “My desire was not just to do a Hollywood film but to do an international film. My desire was to do world cinema. I want to be able to do cinema in any language and do something I am capable or suitable to do. I don’t want to restrict myself to just one kind of cinema,” the 32-year-old actress said. In the World War II film, Radhika plays Indian spy Noor Inayat Khan, as it traces the story of British intelligence officer Vera Atkins (Katic) and the two women she sends into France as spies, one of whom is Khan. What appealed the most about Khan to Apte was that she had a certain internationality to her character. “She was born in Russia, her mother was an American, her father was an Indian Muslim. She was a British national who grew up in France. She used to write, she was a musician. She was ahead of her times. She was brave. I don’t think there was any other character who is so unique and extraordinary.” PTI
