As her actioner, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota is set to release, Radhika Madan alludes she was seeking a romantic role for her first Bollywood film

Radhika Madan
Screenwriter-director Vasan Bala's Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, was not Radhika Madan's first choice when seeking a Bollywood debut vehicle. Turning up at casting director Mukesh Chhabra's office to audition for Sajid Ali's Laila Majnu, Madan was spotted by someone associated with Bala's offering. "They asked me about [my interest in] action, and I said that I knew nothing about it, and wasn't interested in it either," says the actor."
Having gone with the flow, Madan, also a dancer, put her flexibility on display, to impress. "I was scheduled to meet [Ali] and Vasan sir the next day. But, after a conversation with the latter, was signed on for Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota. I didn't even get a chance to meet [Ali]. I really wanted to do Laila Majnu, because then, I would have made a debut as Laila."
