Radhika refuses to see Choker Bali

RadhikaApte who is soon going to be essaying the role of, Binodini in AnuragBasu’s version of Chokher Bali for the small screen has consciously taken a decision of not seeing the earlier attempt / films on the same bio-pic.

The previous film was directed by RitupunaGhosh starring the gorgeous AishwaryaRaiBachhan. Not only was the film declared a box office hit it also won a National Award.

Is it a conscious decision or the fear of being compared which led to this step for the director and the actress?

Commenting on the same Radhika says, “I wanted to work with a fresh approach. I mean I have utmost admiration for everyone's work. It's just that like any other actor I don't want be blinded or influenced. It's very unintentional at time. Both Anurag  and I felt that I should have my own touch and feel for this character. At the risk of sounding selfish I would also say that, it wouldn’t be justice to me as an actor to have taken reference from someone elses version of this character”
