BOMBAY TIMES (June 23, 2019)

Radhika Apte will soon be seen essaying a British spy in her forthcoming Hollywood film Liberte: A Call To Spy. The actor headed to the UK on Friday for the premiere of her film at the Edinburg Film Festival. She also shared a picture with her co-stars from the festival.

She recently shared her look from the film, alongside a picture of the real Noor Inayat Khan, a spy during the World War II. Also known as Nora Baker, she was the first female wireless operator and a British spy who parachuted into Nazi-occupied France to aid the French Resistance.

The forthcoming film based on true incidents is set 75 years ago during the World War II, when Winston Churchill creates a spy organisation, SOE, in order to disturb the Nazi war machine. The newly-created spy organisation recruits a female spy lead, Vera Atkins (Stana Katic), who further hires two unusual candidates: Virginia Hall (Sarah Meghan Thomas), an ambitious American with a wooden leg, and an Indian, Noor Inayat Khan (Radhika Apte), a Muslim pacifist. Together, these women build a new spy network to stop Hitler.
