Actress Radhika Apte, who had wowed everyone with her performance in ''Badlapur'' and ''Hunterrr'', was last seen in Sujoy Ghosh's short film ''Ahalya'' and the filmmaker recently revealed why he chose Radhika to play the lead role. Talking about Radhika, Ghosh said that he wanted an actress who could be seductive without being too obvious about it and that Radhika has a magnetic quality that he knew would make her perfect for the role of Ahalya in the short film. The film also stars Soumitra Chatterjee and Tota Roy Choudhary. The film is a twist on the fable of Ahalya, the wife of sage Gautama, who was turned into a stone as a punishment after being seduced by Lord Indra.
