EXCLUSIVE: “The film begins with me and is as important till the end”- Bhagyashree talks about Radhe Shyam

In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Bhagyashree spoke about her role in Radhe Shyam. "It is again not just a mother's role. It has importance towards the script. My role does make a difference and I would continue doing roles that make a difference to the script. It shouldn't be like if you remove this character the script will continue. Then it is a wasted role. Then anyone could do it or it’s something that can go off on the edit table. That’s not what I would like to perform. In this, I would say the film begins with me and is as important till the end. So that is how Radhe Shyam is,” Bhagyashree shared without revealing much details about her character.

Radhe Shyam is also being praised for its dreamy and astounding sets. The poster and teaser that has been unveiled till now take the audience through a very vibrant and magical world. Talking about the grandeur of the film, Bhagyashree said, "The sets are astounding. They have spent a lot on the grandeur in Radhe Shyam. A lot of it was also shot abroad. But the sets that they made in Hyderabad were outstanding. That is why I can completely relate and understand why they want a theatrical release. All this cannot be watched on a phone sitting in your bedroom. You cannot watch it on a small TV screen. To experience the whole feel of the film, these are things you need to see on a bigger screen."

"I think after Prabhas being the Baahubali star, people want more larger-than-life films from him. He is still got that thing where the audience wants a larger structure. So it makes sense to make films like that where he is playing the main part," she added.

Directed by Radha Krishna Kumar, Radhe Shyam is all set to release in theatres on Pongal 2022.
