Radhika Apte, who shared screen space with Varun Dhawan in Badlapur, says he is a very good friend of hers and they share a special relationship.
“His compliments and his criticism are both important to me. He is a very honest critic and we share that relationship. He’s extremely special to me,” she told mediapersons in response to queries on what was Dhawan’s reaction on her upcoming film Manjhi - The Mountain Man.
Dhawan was at the screening of the film, which features Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead role, and also posed for the cameras with a hammer — an important symbol from the film.
About the pose, Radhika quipped: “Varun is a very good friend but I am very happy that I got the opportunity to place the hammer on his head.”
The actress said that she is pleased with the response to Manjhi. “It was really good. All have come to watch the film so I’m really excited they came today. It’s very sweet. So far wherever we’ve gone and whoever we’ve met, the response has been positive so fingers crossed.”
Radhika also said that she is confident that her fans would watch the film in the theatre despite watching its recently leaked online version. “From whatever responses I’ve got on Twitter, they’ve all said that we’ve seen it and we want to watch it again in the theatres. I request you all to go watch it in the theatres.”
Manjhi - The Mountain Man is directed by Ketan Mehta.
