Radhika
Apte
Said
Yes
Without
Even
Reading
The
Script!
"She
hasn't
played
something
of
this
sort
before
and
I
was
excited
to
cast
her.
I
explained
to
her
what
I
am
making
and
that
I
have
Nawaz
on
board.
I
also
told
her
that
I
would
like
to
have
you
in
this
film.
That's
it
and
she
asked
‘when
do
you
want
to
start
the
film?'
She
is
the
only
one
who
said
yes
to
the
film
without
even
reading
the
script," said
director
Honey
Trehan.
The
Support
I
Received
From
Radhika
Apte
Is
Immense
''I
asked
her
to
read
the
script
first,
but
she
said
that
she
trusts
me.
When
we
started
the
prep
work,
that's
when
she
heard
the
script.
This
is
the
kind
of
support
I
got
from
Radhika," he
said.
On
Nawazuddin's
Character
In
Raat
Akeli
Hai...
"He
is
a
cop
from
a
small
town
and
when
you
think
about
these
kinds
of
roles,
the
first
actor
pops
up
in
your
mind
is
Nawaz.
He
is
such
a
fabulous
actor.
If
you
want
to
cast
a
UP
guy
with
a
clear
hold
on
the
dialect
then
who
better
than
him,"
he
summed
it
up
to
Deccan
Chronicle.

Akeli
Hai
