Shiddat actor Radhika Madan on why people connect with onscreen love stories

The magnetism that stories revolving around love have is not lost on actress Radhika Madan. The actor, who will be seen in the upcoming romantic drama Shiddat, has some poignant points of view when it comes to the genre.

In conversation with IANS, the Angrezi Medium star refers to love as being something that almost all people not only connect to, but also something they want for themselves as well.

She says that the reason people go about doing their jobs too is because they hold love for it. Going on to talk of the universality of the concept, she says how she is of the opinion that every aspect has love which has the potential to strike people’s hearts.

“So when we see a love story it just feels home and that’s the reason maybe people are attracted to it,” she says.

Madan will star opposite Sunny Kaushal, Mohit Raina and Diana Penty in her upcoming film Shiddat.

The trailer for the same had signalled the tumultuous tale of love between a young couple, Kartika and Jaggi, played by Madan and Kaushal respectively, and how they will set about solving the various snags in the path of their love story.

With music composed by Sachin-Jigar, Manan Bhardwaj and Gourov Dasgupta, the film had released three of its tracks recently including a title track and two songs called Akhiyan Udeek Diyan and Barbaadiyan.

Shiddat is directed by Kunal Deshmukh and bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar and Dinesh Vijan under their production banners of T-Series and Maddock Films.

The film will premiere on October 1 on Disney+ Hotstar.
