Priyanka even won the best actress in a lead role, short film category at the Indo French international film festival for Radhan. The short film also won an award at the recently held Dadasaheb Phalke Awards.

In a chawl in Mumbai, where not much is around to encourage or drive ambitions, a jobless not so young man is challenged to re-look at life and love by a GenZ girl , quite contrary to all his convictions. Through the characters of Ujjwal and Madhu, a cynic and a happy free-spirit, respectively, the film constructs its world for the viewer.

*An elated Priyanka said*, “As an actor you are always looking to experience something new and different. When I read Radhan for the character Madhu I felt that I needed her. I got to explore a world so different from mine. It was physically challenging and the weather was not supportive but the cast and crew was wonderful which made the experience wonderful. I am so happy to receive my first ever acting award.”

Director Mayank Pushpam Singh said, “Priyanka is an out and out performer. She is insync with with her environment, objects & persons as well. She internalises all of this which brings her in unison with the character. Besides it is her self – preparation that also helps her to be one with the character which I realised and respected. Some of her attributes, skill sets, expressions, dance and ability to morph into a girl-next-door was admirable, she could bring Madhu to life with ease. During some of our reading sessions I was convinced that she is Madhu. Despite coming from a very different world, I must say her efforts and intent to become Madhu was commendable.”

He further added, “This is a huge honour for us as a team. Priyanka is a natural on screen and her honesty in her performance has got its due. Congratulations to her on winning the best actress in a leading role at the IFIFF.”

Earlier last year, Actor Vijay Sethupathi won the Best Actor Award at the Indo-French International Film Festival for his performance in director Seenu Ramasamy’s critically acclaimed Tamil entertainer, Maamanithan. Radhan is slated to stream on a leading OTT platform this month.
