Mumbai, Aug 3 (IBNS) After creating immense noise for her performance in Ahalya, actress Radhika Apte has now officially confirmed her next project opposite Tamil superstar Rajnikanth.

The actress will be seen playing the lead actress in the film which is set to be directed by Pa Ranjith.

The rumour which was doing the rounds for a while now has been put to rest with Radhika officially signing the film.

Adding to this the actress said, “I don’t know how to describe the feeling. It will take some time to sink in. I don’t think there is anybody bigger than Rajini sir. The director of the film, Pa Ranjith, is also exceptionally good. So, I am thrilled that everything worked out. I am also excited because I will finally get to meet Rajinikanth."

Although Radhika has worked in a few Tamil films in the past, she admits that she isn’t entirely familiar with the language and will indulge in extensive preparations to master the same.

The actress has been in news off late for several reasons.

Her look and performance in the tele-film directed by Anurag Basu was widely loved by the audience, following which Ahalya gathered the actress huge praises.

Moreover, the actress’s film Parched has all the way been shortlisted for the Toronto International Film Festival.
