Some moments on a film set reveal more about a person than any performance ever could. For veteran actor Radikaa Sarathkumar, one such moment came while filming a comedy scene for Vishwanath & Sons — just as she learned of her mother’s passing.
What Happened On Set Radikaa Sarathkumar?
Radikaa was in the middle of shooting a comic sequence when she received the news that her mother, Geetha Radha, had passed away. Rather than leaving immediately, she asked to complete the scene first, with nearly 85% of the sequence already filmed.
