MUMBAI : Radhikka Madan is enjoying the positive feedback she has been getting for Sarfira, a remake of the Tamil film Soorarai Pottru, in which Akshay Kumar also stars. Sudha Kongara movie has been getting great reviews, but its box office debut was a little slow. In response to its ineffective performance, Radhika tells the well-known news outlet,“I wish more people go and see the film but it’s not in my hands. Whoever has seen it has given it a lot of love but I hope Sarfira gets a lot more.”

She says that, in most cases, she leaves it to her directors and producers the "experts" to monitor the box office performance of her films rather than "going deep" into the data.
“What was in my control was my performance and imparting a certain kind of truth there and I’ve done that. I’m always ready to do what the makers ask me to do for the film. But box office isn’t my area of expertise. They let me do my job and now it’s my time to let them do theirs. They’re doing their best in terms of how they want to promote the film,” she states.
It’s rare for a remake or an adaptation to receive the same amount of appreciation as its original film. But Sarfira has been a norm-breaker. Recently, Dulquer Salmaan took to social media heaping praises on the film.
Radhikka shares, “It has been overwhelming. I just feel so grateful right now. I’ve been getting messages and calls every day.”
Lauding her performance as a Maharashtrian girl in the movie, Akshay claimed it was her best work to date. She reacts to the same, “It was very kind of him to say that. It as validating for sure! He made my night. He said it while talking to the audience when I was standing behind him. I looked up at him and was like, really? I was shocked. It was gracious of him to say that. That just shows how secure he is as a person.”
Radhikka claims that another reason her character is unique is that it helped her escape "a dark place.” “Rani came into my life when I was doing Sanaa, which was a very dark film. And Rani came as a breath of fresh air. She’s so uninhibited and she reminded me of who I was. I had forgotten that version of myself. This character took away every fear that I had in my life at that point. It’s bizarre how characters come to you to take you out of a particular space,” she remarks.
Regarding her personal life, earlier this year she changed the same spelling of Radhika as Radhikka, following in the footsteps of stars such as Riteish Deshmukh, Ajay Devgn, and Nushrratt Bharuccha. Making a comment on the same, she says, “My mom believes in numerology. Maa ko khush rakhna bahut important hai. There’s no other reason but this.”
