Bhumi Pednekar is considered one of the most versatile actors of the Indian film industry, given her incredible body of work. She is currently basking in the unanimous appreciation and love showered upon her for her stellar performance in Bhakshak.
Bhumi’s superbly nuanced and brilliant performance in the film is earning her incredible applause. Bhakshak has created another milestone that makes India proud on the global content stage.
Amidst all the acclaim and love coming her way for Bhakshak, there are conjectures about Bhumi wanting to also have a career in Hollywood! When quizzed, Bhumi says, “I do have Hollywood aspirations. I feel it is the best time for artists to be ambitious because the world is now a melting pot of cultures, of diversity and authenticity. Actors now can have a very active career internationally because of the kind of films and series that are being made or the kind of roles that are being written for them.”
She adds, “Brown girls are now making waves internationally, by headlining several films and series. Take for instance, Ambika Mod from Netflix’s One Day. It’s so refreshing to see an Indian origin girl play a lead role in such a successful series that has garnered love from its audience globally. If you have a character from India or the subcontinent, one is choosing actors from the region to play those parts because of the authenticity we bring to screen with these roles.”
Bhumi further states that she is excited to explore and see what is out there for her, “The fact that my exploration to find something meaningful for me in the West begins when I’m on a high post Bhakshak is also a plus for me. If I ever do an international project, I will choose one that gives me immense joy and creative satisfaction.”
She adds, “I’m well aware that I need to represent my country proudly. I will not be hasty but I want to do great work in the West. It has to be a project that gives me a meaty role to shine.”
