Radhika Apte Rejects Violent Films: 'Can't Compute'

Actress Radhika Apte has expressed her firm stance against the current trend of excessively violent films dominating the box office. While promoting her upcoming series 'Akka,' a 1980s gangster drama, Apte described these violent movies as "absurd" and stated she could "not compute" enjoying popcorn while witnessing graphic violence. She prefers not to participate in such productions, despite their commercial success.

Apte, who welcomed her daughter in 2024, also shared how motherhood has reshaped her professional outlook. Her primary focus now is on maintaining a 12-hour workday, rather than extended 16-hour schedules, and securing adequate time off to be with her young child. She emphasized that her career is a part of her life, not her entire life, indicating flexibility in her future choices.

'Akka,' also starring Keerthy Suresh, is set to stream on Netflix starting October 30. The series features a notable ensemble cast including Tanvi Azmi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Anshuman Pushkar, and Monica Panwar, promising a compelling narrative within its gangster drama genre.
