Speaking on her meeting with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Radhikka Madan said, "Since childhood, I have treated myself like Kareena Kapoor. Kareena is Kareena and what I've learnt from her is to love myself. When I started working, I realised that whatever worked in the industry people did exactly that. Whether it is the shape of the body or face or height or anything. We I got such feedback, I thought, if everyone becomes a clone then what will be exciting for the audiences? I've seen Kareena Kapoor while I was growing up. She sets an example! I could see that she is different and so is her craft." She also added that, "Every human being is different, so if I tried to copy someone, I would remain a copy. What I can offer is my uniqueness."

Talking about her on-set meeting with Kareena, Radhikka shared, "When I learned that she is in Angrezi Medium I was having a scene with her in which I even had zero dialogue. That day I was shivering, I had a video where I had rehearsed for ‘hello’ approximately a hundred times. But when I met her I was so happy and she invited me for lunch. I acted like a fool in front of her and then when you meet next time things get different, but I still shiver in front of her".

Angrezi Medium featured Radhika Madan in the role of an intelligent student who aspires to study abroad with Irrfan Khan playing the role of her father – a Rajasthani sweetshop owner. With Kareena Kapoor Khan playing the role of a cop Naina Kohli, the film was a poignant tale of father-daughter love set against the backdrop of London. It released in cinemas on March 13, 2020, right before the pandemic.
