Bhumi is all praises for Deepika who is bringing focus to a hugely relevant and a burning social issue by picking Chhapaak as her next big project.
Deepika Padukone and Bhumi Pednekar have something in common. Both these actresses have pushed the envelope in their forthcoming films Chhapaak and Saand Ki Aankh respectively by transforming themselves entirely for their roles on screen. While Deepika plays a real-life acid attack survivor, Bhumi essays the role of the world’s oldest sharpshooter. Both these ladies have used prosthetics and endured long-hours of make-up, to be unrecognisable on screen. Their commitment for their films have been lauded by audiences as both their looks went viral. Bhumi is all praises for Deepika who is bringing focus to a hugely relevant and a burning social issue by picking Chhapaak as her next big project.
“I saw the first look for Chhapaak and it was brilliant. Seeing Deepika transform and become unrecognisable and stay so true to her role was amazing. Her transformation stopped the press. I’m really proud to see the work that actresses are doing. It pushes me to do better work,” Bhumi tells us.
She adds, “It is a great time for actresses as right from Saand Ki Aankh to Chhapaak, unconventional subjects are coming to the forefront and are being written for women. This effectively means people just want to see good cinema and all the talk of how movies can’t revolve around female leads because of business reasons is nothing but a patriarchal stereotype.”

Bhumi is thrilled with the love her first look got. She exclaims, “It feels great that our looks (Taapsee Pannu and mine) in Saand Ki Aankh are being appreciated. As an actor, I have given my all to this film and after seeing all the positive reactions, I feel, the daily three hours of make-up have definitely been worth it.”
She adds, “I enjoy transforming myself for my roles. It’s exciting for me, to see the way people react and how amazed they are with everything new you do. So, yes the transformation to become Chandro was necessary as it was important that I look real. I feel a lot of responsibility playing her on screen. Both Chandro dadi and Prakashi dadi are champions and I’m happy that the film is getting so much love.”
