Right from her debut film, Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015), Bhumi Pednekar has proved that she has no qualms about transforming herself to become the character she plays — whether it’s putting on weight, donning grey or changing complexion for the role, the actress doesn’t shy away from experimenting.
Having already impressed filmmakers and audiences alike with her performances in Lust Stories (2018), Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017) and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017), she now has six big projects lined up in the next 12 months.
“What gets me invested in a movie is the challenge it poses to me as an actor. I would love to learn from every film and every role. I would not like to do similar roles and play safe. For me, acting is all about forgetting yourself and convincingly becoming someone else on screen. I would always seek risky and challenging roles in films where I can contribute as an artiste and choose projects in which my part would have something important to do or say,” says Bhumi.
Her line-up includes Bala, a social satire on pre-mature balding, Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, a drama about dreams and aspirations of women, Saand Ki Aankh, a biopic in which she plays the world’s oldest sharpshooter from India, Pati Patni Aur Woh, a romantic comedy, Bhoot, a horror film and the multi-starrer Karan Johar’s period drama Takht in which she has a significant role.
“It is exciting for me that every role will see me in a new avatar! That’s what motivates me to sign a film and be on the sets of such diverse movies and collaborate with different filmmakers. I’ve been fortunate and blessed to be getting these opportunities from talented directors who feel I will bring their vision to life. I recognise the responsibility and look forward to delivering work that I can be proud of,” she signs off.
