Quotes:
When an aspiring actor asked Radhika about auditioning she said, "I wouldn't have got Badlapur if I had to audition. I am terrible in auditions". Sharat also expressed a similar opinion about being tested for his writing skills, "If someone asks me to give sample of my writing to test my skills, I just cant write."
