Radhikka revealed that she has been showered with love, saying: “Oh! I am extremely overwhelmed by the response to ‘Sarfira.’ I feel so grateful. Just receiving a lot of love, it’s nice.

Radhikka also talked candidly about how, following her remarkable performance in Sarfira, she felt like the late actress Sridevi. Numerous contemporary actresses are still influenced by the latter, who is renowned for her extraordinary adaptability and capacity to breathe life into any role. But Radhikka sees these comparisons with honour and humility. She declared: “It’s a big one. I don’t want to believe this, but they said that ‘I reminded them of Sridevi,’ which was a big deal for me. I don’t think I can ever come close to her. I’m not taking it seriously at all. I’m like, great, good, made my night, that is it. I can’t ever be her.”

Sarfira, directed by Sudha Kongara Prasad, is a Hindi film that is a remake of the Suriya-starring Tamil film Soorarai Pottru. Radhikka plays “Rani Mhatre,” Akshay Kumar’s wife, in the 2024 movie. During the same interview, the actress discussed the business of the movie, mentioning: “I don’t take it seriously. See, I don’t take failures also to my heart. I’m pretty neutral, and I try to stay neutral. If a film fails, or I’m not appreciated that much, I ask myself this question ‘Did I give it my all?’ If the answer is yes, I’m like, great, let’s move on. And the same thing happens when I’m getting love.”

Radhikka Madan spoke about the huge gap between her and Akshay Kumar

In a previous interview with India Today, the 29-year-old actress discussed the significant age difference between herself and Akshay Kumar, who plays her husband and the film’s main character, “Veer Mhatre.” When their movie was released in theatres, she claimed, people forgot about this problem and instead enjoyed their “cracking, intense, and lovely chemistry.”
