“Every actor dreams of donning the uniform on screen and I’m happy to have realised mine in
Veera Kambala
,” shares
Radhika Narayan who has just finished wrapping up a special appearance in the Rajendra Singh
Babu
directorial.
The actor plays a commissioner in the film and says how once she wore the uniform, her entire personality just transformed. “There’s something so inherently dignified and disciplined about it that one’s body language just naturally becomes that. I noticed that change in me and went “wow.” After enacting that role, my respect for women police officers has gone a notch higher. Whenever I see them, I just stop and stare at them for a few moments because now I know how much hard work goes in. As actors, we don the uniform, play that role and snap out of it. It’s not that for the officers. I just have whole new respect for them now,” states Radhika. The outing was doubly special because she shot for the film on home turf. “Not many know that I’m from Udupi and the
Karavali
region is rather dear to me. We filmed in
Mangaluru
and I got to experience its legendary summer and that it is quite something,” she smiles.
Radhika
also spoke quite a bit of
Tulu
in the movie.
“We speak Tulu at home too and although it’s a different dialect of the language. But I’m glad to have got in touch with my roots for this film,” sums up Radhika.
