Bollywood actor Bhumi Pednekar is well-known for playing strong, self-reliant female characters who overcome obstacles and break down barriers. The next project Bhumi will be featured in is Daldal, where she will play a tough cop—a position she has never taken on before in her career.

Bhumi’s most recent film, Bhakshak, is a worldwide streaming smash. Bhumi’s extensive filmography over the years speaks much about her dedication to continuing to represent strong, independent, and forward-thinking women.

“It has been a very exciting year for me as an actor. This year has been really rewarding, from Bhakshak being popular both in India and beyond to me discovering exceptional disruptive ventures like Daldal and others that are not yet publicized. My filmography shows that I have had the good fortune to work on roles that allow me to represent powerful, self-reliant women who are like the powers of nature” said Bhumi.

“Films that reflect what I think when it comes to portraying Indian women on screen are Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan, Lust Stories, Bala, Badhaai Do, Saand Ki Aankh, Sonchiriya, and Bhakshak,” she added.

“I want people to remember and celebrate our women because they have every right to pursue their passions, dreams, and ambitions and because they have a significant influence in shaping society. We are unstoppable” said the actress.

The gifted actress has just begun filming for her soon-to-be-released Amazon streaming series, Daldal. Bhumi claims that the reason she adores Daldal is that she gets to portray a heroine who would break through the glass ceiling that society places on women.

“Daldal is a project that encapsulates all these qualities of being a woman. Rita is an extraordinary performer who shatters glass ceilings and rewrites norms in a world dominated by men. She leads from the front, is driven, and has an intense love for what she does. I adore these people, therefore I’m excited to be the face of a series like this on an international streaming service like Amazon that will enable me to inspire others by showcasing the tenacity and fortitude of Indian women” said Bhumi.

“Daldal is one of my most special projects for many, many reasons. As I begin filming for the project, I can already assure you that it will be among my hardest roles to date” added the pretty actress.

Wishing her all the best for Daldal.
