Radhika Apte expresses challenges for new mothers in film industry: 'I don't know how I am going to navigate it'
Radhika Apte , who announced her pregnancy last year at the BAFTA Awards, now opened up about the difficulties new mothers face in the demanding film industry. Her British film, Karan Kandhari's black comedy Sister Midnight, which premiered at Cannes last May, is now releasing in India, and Apte's daughter is six months old. Short maternity leave and Industry realities Radhika had a remarkably short "maternity leave," returning to work just a week after her daughter's birth. Last December, she even shared a picture of herself attending a virtual work meeting while breastfeeding, highlighting her immediate return to professional life. While virtually speaking to SCREEN from London, Apte candidly addressed whether the film industry is supportive of new mothers. "I don't think they are. I don't know how I'm going to navigate that going ahead," she confessed. Her statement comes amid a broader discussion within the industry, with reports suggesting actors like Deepika Padukone potentially walking out of films over concerns like requesting eight-hour shifts post-pregnancy. While actor-producer Ajay Devgn recently defended the industry, claiming shorter shifts are now common for everyone, Apte emphasized the unique challenges for new mothers.

ZAROTRAVEL® КУПИ СЕГА Undo "It's really difficult to work in our film industry, given the number of hours and how we film generally, and the time for which we don't get to see the child. So I guess I'll just have to figure it out now," she explained. This challenge is compounded by Apte's long-standing practice of dividing her time between India and London. A shifting focus from acting to screenwriting Even before embracing motherhood, Radhika found herself dissatisfied with the acting roles coming her way, which led her to explore screenwriting. She previously directed the short film The Sleepwalkers, starring Gulshan Devaiah and Shahana Goswami, available on MUBI. "I'm tired of acting because you don't necessarily get the kind of work you want. I'm tired of doing the same thing or doing things just for the sake of it," she admitted, explaining her decision to be more selective. Apte revealed that writing began out of this frustration, allowing her to explore subjects that weren't offered to her as an actor. She unexpectedly found joy in the process, inspiring her to delve deeper into it. On the acting front, Radhika will next be seen in Dharmaraj Shetty's revenge thriller show Akka on Netflix India and Justin Lin's American film Last Days, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this year. Embracing character transformation beyond stereotypes Discussing her role as Uma in Sister Midnight, Apte highlighted her fascination with the character, a "small-town misfit who became an accidental outlaw." Uma enters an arranged marriage and undergoes a bizarre, supernatural transformation. When asked if it was fun to break out of the "demure homemaker mould" often seen in roles like her character in Pad Man, Apte clarified her artistic approach. "There's nothing wrong with playing a demure homemaker. It was never my intention to play a badass. It's about the character, the arc, and the story you're trying to tell," she stated. She emphasized the relatability of Uma's journey: "The emotional transformation is the acceptance of who she is. She discovers herself after becoming an outlaw. That self-discovery is very relatable. It's not about womanhood. It's applicable to any individual who finds discomfort in adjusting to a structure or a society.'

Radhika Apte feels film industry isn't conducive to needs of new mothers: ‘I don't know how I'm going to navigate it going forward'
Radhike Apte announced her pregnancy last year while walking the red carpet at the BAFTA Awards, where her British film, Karan Kandhari's black comedy Sister Midnight, was nominated in the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer category. The film, which premiered at Cannes Film Festival last May, released across the UK and the US later in 2024. This week, as Sister Midnight finally makes its way to Indian cinemas, Radhika's daughter is six months old. Last December, a week after her birth, Radhika shared a picture of her attending a virtual work meeting while breastfeeding her baby. In fact, she was busy writing through her pregnancy and submitted her draft just a day before she went into labour. That makes her 'maternity leave' just a week-long. As she tends to her baby in London, Radhika Apte speaks to SCREEN virtually and answers whether the film industry is conducive to the needs of new mothers like her. 'I don't think they are. I don't know how I'm going to navigate that going ahead,' she says. Her confession comes in the same week where there's an ongoing discourse around how actors, who are also new moms, are finding it tough to resume work. Deepika Padukone reportedly walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Spirit, and one of the concerns was her asking for eight-hour shifts instead of longer ones. Actor-producer Ajay Devgn defended the industry at the trailer launch event of his production Maa by claiming that not even new mothers, but people at large are enjoying shorter, eight-hour shifts now. Apte, speaking to us, reiterated why she's finding it difficult to balance work and new motherhood. 'It's really difficult to work in our film industry, given the number of hours and how we film generally, and the time for which we don't get to see the child. So I guess I'll just have to figure it out now,' she says. Coupled with that, Radhika has also been dividing her time between India and London for years. She's always had a love-hate relationship with Mumbai, although she now claims it's home, like other cities she regularly frequents. 'It was difficult to adjust in Mumbai when I first moved there. Any other big city does that to you. At the moment, Mumbai is home. I have multiple homes now, in London, Pune, and Mumbai. I love Mumbai for its spirit, and the friends and family there. But I do struggle with the lack of green space in Mumbai, I have to say,' she adds. Even before motherhood, Radhika Apte wasn't getting the kind of roles she wanted to see herself play. That prompted her to switch to screenwriting. She's previously directed The Sleepwalkers, a short film starring Gulshan Devaiah and Shahana Goswami, which is available to stream on MUBI. 'I'm tired of acting because you don't necessarily get the kind of work you want. I'm tired of doing the same thing or doing things just for the sake of it. So I'm becoming a little choosy with what I said yes to,' admits Radhika. 'Writing started because of that. I thought I'd write subjects I want to deal in because they weren't coming to me as an actor. But when I started writing, I really enjoyed it. I didn't expect that because I'd never written before. So that's why I want to explore it further,' she adds. On the acting front, Radhika will be next seen in Dharmaraj Shetty's revenge thriller show Akka on Netflix India and Justin Lin's American film Last Days, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this year. As Radhika Apte explores work across formats, genres and languages, she doesn't want to get stuck in a structure, like her character Uma in Sister Midnight. 'Sister Midnight is about a small-town misfit who became an accidental outlaw. That's what fascinated me about the film,' she says. In the film, Uma enters an arranged marriage, after which she finds herself change in the most bizarre, supernatural way possible. Was it fun to break out of the demure homemaker mould, one that she popularly embraced in R Balki's 2018 hit Pad Man? 'There's nothing wrong with playing a demure homemaker. It was never my intention to play a badass. It's about the character, the arc, and the story you're trying to tell,' she says, adding, 'The emotional transformation is the acceptance of who she is. She discovers herself after becoming an outlaw. That self-discovery is very relatable. It's not about womanhood. It's applicable to any individual who finds discomfort in adjusting to a structure or a society.' Also Read — Sister Midnight movie review: Radhika Apte film is a bizarro-serio-comedy like no other Radhika admits she, like many others, often finds herself stuck in a structure. More often than not, she rebels against the system, but over the years, has also found herself conforming. 'There are certain things I cannot change. I don't have a rulebook so I feel I should pick battles. When I feel my voice is going to matter, I say it. When I feel it won't, I choose to do without it,' says the actor.

Kathy Bates, Mara Brock Akil, Natasha Lyonne, and More to Receive Awards at IndieWire Honors
IndieWire, the definitive outlet for creative independence in film and TV, announced on Wednesday, May 7 the return of the Spring edition of its IndieWire Honors event celebrating the creators and stars responsible for some of the most impressive and engaging work of this TV season. Hosted by comedian Robby Hoffman, known for her memorable guest appearances on 'Hacks' and 'Dying for Sex' this year, IndieWire Honors will celebrate its honorees at an intimate cocktail reception taking place Thursday, June 5 in Los Angeles. Exclusive editorial content, including honoree profiles, will also be featured on IndieWire beginning May 28 and will continue throughout the lead-up to the awards night, followed by video interviews and more content from the event. More from IndieWire Joe Wright's 'Mussolini: Son of the Century' Epic Series Will Be Distributed by MUBI - Watch New Teaser 'The Last of Us' Review: Episode 5 Stares Death in the Face and Asks for More - Spoilers 'Each year, IndieWire Honors celebrates the artists who are redefining the boundaries of storytelling and pushing the industry forward,' said Dana Harris-Bridson, IndieWire's senior VP and editor-in-chief. 'The 2025 honorees exemplify the innovation, courage, and creative vision that inspire us all. We're proud to shine a light on these voices and continue our tradition of championing the boldest talents in film and television.''It's spring and IndieWire Honors is back, our unique take on an awards event where honorees and attendees mix and mingle while celebrating our favorite series and the talent behind them,' said IndieWire senior VP and publisher James Israel. The Spring 2025 IndieWire Honors honorees, as curated and selected by IndieWire's editorial team, are as follows: Given her reputation for bringing an invigorating energy to every role she takes on, big or small, it's no surprise that a reimagining of the classic legal procedural 'Matlock' headlined by Kathy Bates has been such a success. The actress is an anchor, helping the audience see the heart of the material, no matter how high the concept. While it once was common for actors to overthink taking on a TV role versus a film role, Bates has proven how one can freely and effectively bounce between both mediums, earning Emmys and an Oscar along the way. It is rare to see someone so pivotal to the TV landscape feel like they are just getting started. After working on iconic Black sitcoms like 'Moesha' and 'The Jamie Foxx Show,' and creating 'Girlfriends,' where she hired several writers that would also become game-changing showrunners, Mara Brock Akil is making her long-awaited Netflix series debut 'Forever,' inspired by the groundbreaking Judy Blume novel of the same name. Now taking place in 2018, the teen romance is a balm for audiences hoping to find the tenderness and connection lacking in modern times. Coming on as an executive producer and director helping bring creator Dan Erickson's vision of 'Severance' to life, actor and filmmaker Ben Stiller has hit his stride behind the lens of the Apple TV+ series. Split between two worlds that both feel all too uncanny to anyone who has passed through white collar wastelands, the Apple TV+ series has an immersive sense of malaise diffused by his collaboration from day one with cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné, who went on to also direct the episode 'Chikhai Bardo,' a highlight of the highly acclaimed second season. Cutting her teeth as the star of women-directed indies like 'Slums of Beverly Hills' and 'But I'm a Cheerleader,' whose posters still line the walls of precocious teenagers' bedrooms, the now-multi-hyphenate Natasha Lyonne has solidified herself as a singular talent that writes, directs, and stars in TV series that redefine what creators can accomplish in the streaming era. With Peacock's 'Poker Face,' created alongside Oscar-nominated filmmaker Rian Johnson, Lyonne has managed to turn a classic whodunnit into an impeccably written, well-crafted showcase for some of the most exciting stars of today. The countless hours spent between 'The Penguin' star Colin Farrell and makeup designer Mike Marino proved to be foundational to the success of the HBO crime drama spinning off from the 2022 blockbuster 'The Batman.' The actor is completely transformed, but is not weighed down by prosthetics that hinder his capabilities to give a nuanced performance of a superhero rogue that fans thought they already knew. That kind of symbiosis of crafts, where the pair pushes each other to new creative peaks, has already led to several awards, and calls for the limited series to be revived, whether the Batman returns or not. A throwback in form and function, the Ramy Youssef and Pam Brady creation '#1 Happy Family USA' on Prime Video is a reminder of how animation can be the perfect medium for transgressive stories that can challenge the audience's worldview, while also challenging them not to laugh. It is finally not too soon to joke about how the world changed after September 11, 2001, with Brady and Youssef teeing up an animation style that transports viewers to the time, and holding up a mirror for everyone to see the actions of many that are now painfully regrettable, yet hilarious. It may be pat to refer to documentary projects as stranger than fiction, but watching 'Ren Faire' from documentary prodigy Lance Oppenheim, it is bizarre how well the narrative of a megalomaniacal entrepreneur toying with his wannabe successors foreshadows current events we are mustering through. And that is not to say there isn't any fun to be had with 'Ren Faire,' which is full of energy and comedic beats that rival the best sitcoms. In a field as expansive as documentary, it can be incredibly hard to develop a unique voice, but the young filmmaker has already proven himself able to provide something fresh, spotlighting idiosyncratic subjects that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. A few years out from her devastating, Emmy-winning turn in 'Mare of Easttown,' actress Julianne Nicholson returns to TV on the new Hulu series 'Paradise' where everything is not what it seems. It's easy to call her character Sinatra the most captivating villain of this overall television season, but Nicholson places all the pieces down to challenge that designation throughout the Dan Fogelman-penned series. Sure, she is unapologetically focused on her survival, and maintaining a sense of control, which makes for delicious tête-à-tête with lead Sterling K. Brown, but she does so having experienced a loss that would be transformative for anyone to have gone through. All it takes to impress upon anyone who has seen the Netflix series 'Adolescence' just how talented its breakout star Owen Cooper truly is: tell them that the first episode the newcomer shot is the one opposite Erin Doherty, where he turns the table on her as counselor trying to evaluate whether he is aware of his fatal actions. Cooper is but one modern teenager (and still in school to boot), but through his performance in the Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne-created series, he has become a conduit for needed conversations about how to contend with the toxic culture preying upon young men worldwide. Though the entrance of Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren into the 'Yellowstone' universe piqued the interest of many, Paramount+ series '1923' has provided a needed education to its viewers about the atrocities committed against indigenous Americans through star Aminah Nieves. Though it is incredibly tough to shoulder the burden of depicting a difficult piece of North American history parties are still actively trying to erase, the young star has done so with aplomb, ending the second and final season of the Western saga on a triumphant note that provides the foundation for many more indigenous stories to be told for years to come.
