MUMBAI, Jan 19 :
Actor Radhika Apte is not worried about the box office clash between “Padman” and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Padmaavati”, and says except for the opening day, both the films should sail smoothly.
“Padmaavat” had to miss its release on December 1 due to protests by Rajput organisations. The film, initially titled “Padmavati”, is now set to be released on January 25 with “Padman”.
Radhika, however, is confident about “Padman” as the audience has so far responded positively to the trailer and the songs. She has also seen the trailer of “Padmaavat” and finds it “amazing”. “I feel there is positive buzz about both the films and there is an audience for both. It is not even comparable. There is nothing common between ‘Padman’ and ‘Padmaavat’,” Radhika said.
“The audience will be split and it (films) will open to lesser numbers. The opening will be affected, but I don’t think it will affect the overall game of a film as people want to watch both the films.” “Padman” is based on the life of Tamil Nadu-based social activist Arunachalam Muruganantham (played by Akshay Kumar), who manufactured low-cost machine for sanitary napkins in rural India. Radhika plays the role of Akshay’s wife in the film. (PTI)
