Balayya's Ahalya is not innocent

After gaining prominence in Tollywood through several of her striking performances in Rakta Charitra, Dhoni and Balayya's Legend and Lion, Marathi actress Radhika Apte went off the radar due to her controversial comments on male chauvinism in Tollywood. However, the actress is quite busy in Bollywood and even in Tamil and Bengali.

Last night, Radhika's latest short film in the direction of Kahaani's director Sujoy Ghosh was released to a rousing applause. Titled Ahalya, the breathtaking thriller revolves around three characters, Radhika as Ahalya, her 78 year old husband and a young cop. The usually intense and demure Radhika shed all the inhibitions, as she wears a spaghetti that reveals her sensuous side and the actress looks hotter than ever in a curly hair do.

Not stopping with this, the director even gave a stunning twist to Ahalya's character as opposed to that of the original character in epic Ramayana, in which Ahalya was seduced by Lord Indra. In the short film, Radhika seduces the cop named Indra Sen and traps him mysteriously.

If Trivikram used Ahalya-Gautama story to derive comedy in Atharintiki Dharedhi, Radhika and her team exploited it for giving us a gripping thriller.
