The short film has stars like Shahana Goswami and Gulshan Devaiah in lead roles. Radhika has also written it.
When asked what was the reason behind choosing a subject like sleepwalking for her project, the actress responded, "What the film is actually about does not really come across in the trailer, so I can't really give it away. I started diving last year and that's where I got the idea."
In these dire times of the lockdown, the actress is spending time with her husband Benedict Taylor and is in London. She revealed that she is enjoying this break from work after a long period of time.
She said, "It's good to spend time at home at one place, and not hopping all the time from one place to another. Travelling becomes hectic."
Apte further mentioned, "I have been working, I've been reading scripts and trying to write. Just taking personal time away from work. It has really been a good break. I haven't had a break like this for a long time. Also, I love to cook and bake, and now I have more time to devote to cooking and baking."
