Radhika Apte has played an impressive role in the Balayya's Legend and the actor recommended the young lady for his Lion movie too. She landed in a significant role and the actress believed she'd contribute a good deal to the film.
But those who watched Lion today will feel that the two heroine faces in the movie are merely to up the glamour quotient in the movie and nothing more than that. In fact Trisha's was a bigger let down as Mahalakshmi and her romantic track with Balakrishna is poor to say the least.
While Radhika Apte who is a known performer was restricted to mere song sequences. Director Satyadev failed to tap the talent that Radhika really is. One can think that the actress' remark on TFI saying that she enjoys working in any language industry barring Telugu most probably has come after shooting for Lion.
Her comments may have disappointed the movie goers but she must have been equally disappointed to do such roles here. Its time Tollywood takes the positives from her remark and evolves!
