Radhika Madan On 27-Year Age Gap With Sarfira Co-Star Akshay Kumar: "Everyone Is Talking About Cracking Chemistry"

Sarfira is the official Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru

Radhika Madan, who played Akshay Kumar's wife in the film Sarfira, addressed the issue of their 27-year age gap. In an interview with India Today, Radhika claimed people are talking about their "intense chemistry" after watching the film. Radhika told India Today, "It was there when the film was announced and when the trailer came out. But post the release surprisingly, I read 42 reviews and none of them mentioned about the age gap." Sharing her joy for being appreciated in the film, Radhika said, "All they mentioned was they have cracking chemistry, intense chemistry, and lovely chemistry. Everyone mentioned the chemistry. The same people who were saying that, 'why this' after watching the trailer."

Radhika Madan continued, "We have focused on the superficial aspect of it in the past and so people think 'dobara inhone bhi yeh hi kiya hain' (they have done this again), it's not that. It's a very different story."

Radhika also established her point with references shown in the film. The actor believes the age gap between the characters is established in the film on a solid ground. "Every explanation is beautifully shown in the film. Everything is addressed from the word 'go'. The age difference is addressed in my opening scene. The reason you don't feel that is because Veer and Rani's [their characters in the film] connection is way deeper. It's not that she's a good-looking younger chick or he is a handsome older guy."
