Radhika Apte cites Zeenat Aman look for Akka
Hindustan Times·
Actor Radhika Apte said Zeenat Aman's on-screen persona guided costume and hair for her Akka role. She told PTI the reference covered fringe, clothing and a wig, not a full character copy. The period crime thriller by Dharmaraj Shetty is set in a fictional South India world led by Keerthy Suresh as Bhavani. Apte plays rebel Rudra.
