Radhika Apte to work with 'Castle' star Stana Katic

Global icon Priyanka Chopra is one of few stars officially selected to announce the nominees for the 90th Academy Awards. And now its time for others to shine worldwide. “Pad man” star Radhika Apte will soon be seen in a World War II spy drama. The film will also feature “Castle” star Stana Katic and Sara Meghan Thomas, who has been a part of the thriller drama Equity. Linus Roache and Rossif Sutherland are set to feature in the drama, according to a report by the Deadline. After making her mark in the South and Bollywood film industries, Radhika Apte has set her sights on Hollywood. According to reports, the film is based on the real-life spies in Winston Churchill’s “secret army”. Apte will be seen playing Noor Inayat Khan, a pacifist of Indian descent who was the first female wireless operator. She will reportedly play a crucial role in this drama that will see her character work with the British intelligence as a spy. The character of Stana Katic has an ulterior motive of her own besides carrying out the mission assigned to her by her bosses, while Sara Meghan Thomas’ character is a brave American woman with a wooden leg, who ultimately comes to be feared by the Nazis. Thomas has penned the screenplay of the film, and the movie will be directed by Lydia Dean Pilcher, who has produced movies like Queen of Katwe and The Darjeeling Limited. Apart from this, Radhika will also be seen opposite Dev Patel in Michael Winterbottom’s upcoming feature ‘The Wedding Guest’.
