We had recently reported that Radhika Apte donned the director hat for a short film, starring Shahana Goswami and Gulshan Devaiah. This short, titled The Sleepwalkers, has bagged The Best Midnight Short Award at Palms Spring International Short Fest that was held online this year. Radhika shared the news on social media. 

The Sleepwalkers, which has been written and directed by Radhika, marks the actor’s directorial debut. In a recent interaction with us, the actor also shared that she has been using the lockdown time to write more scripts. 

Radhika’s last Hindi release was Pia Sukanya’s Bombairiya, while the long-delayed Chithiram Pesuthadi 2 was her last appearance in Tamil. However, the actor had multiple international releases in 2019 such as The Wedding Guest and The Ashram, Liberté: A Call to Spy. The Andhadhun actor has a Hotstar special in the pipeline and will begin shooting for Shantaram next year.
