Radhika Pandit, who became famous with her role in the hit film Moggina Manasu is more famous now. After just one film, she has gained a fan base which is incomparable to any other emerging star. She has even managed to have an online fan club within a few months of the release of her first movie. The producers of Moggina Manasu cast her in the role after seeing her portfolio in a popular magazine. She had already acted in a TV serial titled Nanda Gokula. Radhika says she accepted the film because she considered it as a great start for a newcomer. “In Moggina Manasu, the girl carries the entire movie on her shoulders; this was the challenge for me,” she said
Radhika says she does not want to keep away from acting in other languages. She opines that for an actress, language should not be a barrier; what matters should be the quality and substance of the character. She also added that right now she is concentrating on Kannada movies.
Although she hails from a family of artists, Radhika became an actress by accident. “I was in my final year in college when I acted in Nanda Gokula. I used to represent Mount Carmel College in cultural activities and a friend in the team told me to try my hand at acting. I did, and became popular because of the serial.”
Radhika’s second movie will be Olave Jeevana Lekachara opposite Kitty directed by Nagathihalli Chandrashekar who appreciated her performance in Moggina Manasu.
