Radhika Pandit is reputed to be one of those actors who literally get into the skin of the characters they play. It’s going to be no different with her forthcoming film, Drama either.

The ambitious project that teams her up with director Yograj Bhat for the first time will see her essaying the role of a flirt and Radhika, going by what the people on the sets have to say, has played the character to the T. But this time the actor has not stopped at just playing her part. She’s also crooned for the film. “In Drama there is a song called Hitavachana… and parts of it have been sung in rap style.

When I went to the studio to dub, Bhatru suggested I give a shot at singing the rap portions myself. I also thought it would add authenticity to the song,” recalls Radhika, but not without adding that it take take a lot of convincing from the director to get her to lend her voice. “I had never considered singing and wasn’t even sure how I would sound. So when I was asked to turn rapper, I was not too sure of the outcome.

But Bhatru coaxed me into it by saying that there was no harm in trying. I gave in finally; music director Harikrishna’s music was also there to make me sound good,” adds Radhika. And how has the song turned out? “Well, I, myself, am waiting to hear it completely. This apart, what I am also looking forward to is shooting for the song, Chendutiya Pakkadalli… It is a beautiful song penned by Bhatru and sung by Sonu Nigam. It is the only romantic number in the film. I will be shooting for it in a week’s time,” says the actress. With this shoot, the actor wraps up her Drama schedule only to move on to yet another big budget project, Kadipudi.

“My role is that of a junior artiste. After Krishnan Love Story, it is in this film that you will see me in a deglamourised avatar. It is a complete contrast to the role I’ve played in Drama. I’m so looking forward to the release of these two films,” she signs off.
