has been settled in the UAE for many years and she has been doing films sparingly, too.

The artiste, who was last seen in the 2019 film Oolu starring Shane Nigam, is back with Manju Warrier’s multilingual film Ayisha, which is currently being shot in the Middle East. Radhika, who will also be part of the Manju’s dance sequence that has been choreographed by Prabhudeva, tells us, “My character in

Ayisha

is very interesting and I chose to do it for three reasons. The main reason is, getting to work with Manju Warrier. Words can’t describe the experience of working alongside her; she is truly a lady superstar. I feel blessed that I get to share a good amount of screen space with her,” says Radhika.

She adds that she also loved the fact that the film is shot mostly in the UAE and that it is a multi-lingual, big-scale project. “It is fun every day on our set. It has a very young, multi-national crew as well. As for the dance sequence choreographed by Prabhudeva, I am appearing it for just a few seconds, but even that experience gave me goosebumps,” she adds.
The film, directed by Aamir Pallikkal, is touted to be the first-ever to be made both in Malayalam and Arabic. Ashif Kakkodi is the scriptwriter and M Jayachandran is in charge of the music department. Vishnu Sharma has roped in as the cinematographer and Appu N Bhattathiri is the editor.
