Radhika Apte makes parent proud!

Radhika Apte, who played the role of a girl suffering from agoraphobia in her last release Phobia, not only won the critics' hearts with her outstanding act but she also managed to impress her parents.

Radhika's parents lately saw the psychological thriller and were left in awe of their daughter's act. Radhika's father is a neurosurgeon and he too had helped her to prepare for her role.

Radhika tweets, "Since my parents are doctors, they are fully aware of the behavioural patterns of people suffering from agoraphobia. Like all parents, they have always been very appreciative of my work. But they say that Phobia is their personal favourite."

I had not even read the script when I gave my nod to Phobia, reveals Radhika Apte!

Radhika Apte, who wowed everybody with her role as an artist, who suffers from agoraphobia in latest release Phobia, disclosed that she had not even read the script when she gave her nod to the film.

Explaining on the same, Radhika told, ''I didn't even read the script when I said yes to the film. At that time it was just an idea but coincidentally, I was working on 'Panic Disorder' at the same time with a friend and I thought it was quite serendipitous thatPawan also came up with a script about a mental disorder. Also the twist of the plot intrigued me as it was something that was not done before so I gave my nod for it without even reading the script.''

Phobia, which also starred Satyadeep Mishra and Ankur Vikal, released this weekend.

Radhika Apte's 'Phobia' is the first psychological thriller of this year!

Psychological thriller is one genre that hasn't been explored to the fullest in Hindi Film Industry. While there are horror movies made at certain frequency while thrillers too are churned out frequently, one can count only a handful of movies that step into the psychological space of an individual. Now this is what makes Phobia exciting as one waits to see what the team has to offer here.

"The setting up of stage so far has been quite interesting for Phobia," tells an insider, "Right from the series of teasers that were put together for the film to the theatrical promo that was unveiled, there has been a good momentum in buzz. This is a niche film and hence it was prudent that the promotional and marketing campaign was designed well."

No wonder, this Pawan Kripalani movie is standing out from the rest of the crowd due to promise of an innovative narrative ahead.

"Presence of Radhika Apte is giving the film further credibility," the insider adds, "She can get into a chic urban lady (Badlapur) and also turn into a village belle (Manjhi). For Phobia, she had to get the psyche element right. It is a very difficult part to play and she knows that all eyes are on her to perform."

With the Viki Rajani and Eros movie set to release on 27th May, one waits to see how Bollywood's First Psychological Thriller of 2016 plays out on the big screen.
