Actress
Radhika
Apte,
who
plays
one
of
the
leads
in
forthcoming
action-thriller
Badlapur,
says
the
film
is
content-driven
and
also
has
all
the
elements
of
a
commercially
entertaining
venture.
"This
is
a
content-driven
film,
but
it's
entertaining
too
with
all
the
commercial
elements," Radhika
told.
She
plays
the
owner
of
a
restaurant
in
the
film
and
most
of
her
scenes
were
with
Varun
Dhawan.
"I
play
this
role
of
an
independent
woman.
It's
a
strong
character
and
that's
all
I
can
reveal
about
it,"
she
said.
Radhika
believes
it's
really
brave
of
Varun
to
do
something
"contrary"
to
his
onscreen
image.
"I
really
loved
working
with
Varun.
He's
a
very
hardworking
actor.
It's
so
brave
of
him
that
he
took
a
leap
of
faith
and
has
done
something
so
contrast
and
dark
to
his
earlier
roles.
I
think
it's
really
great
that
he
had
taken
up
this
project,"
she
added.
Radhika
confessed
she's
a
fan
of
director
Sriram
Raghavan's
work
and
that
she
had
been
waiting
for
an
opportunity
to
work
with
him.
"Sriram
is
very
experimental
with
his
ideas
and
always
tries
something
different.
He
allows
his
actors
to
collaborate
and
contribute
their
ideas
to
the
project.
He's
supremely
talented
as
a
director
and
writer.
I
think
it's
great
that
he
writes
as
well
as
directs,"
she
said.
"He's
a
simple
human
being
and
I'd
love
to
work
with
him
again,"
she
added.
Also

Siddiqui,

Kashyap
