BHUMI FINDS HER LATEST FILM EMPOWERING!

Gone are the days when actresses were in films just for the glamour quotient. Now, they hold their ground and are an equally impactful part of the story. Today, actresses are also preferring to play more such roles that not only define their career but also their talent as an actor. One such actress who has ever since her debut played some really inspiring roles is Bhumi Pednekar. Right from an obese wife who does not let her weight define her in Dum Laga Ke Haisha to a lesbian sports teacher who does not let the societal norms structure her life in Badhaai Do.

Bhumi is all ready to play Vicky Kaushal’s hottie wife in Shashank Khaitan’s Govinda Naam Mera. The young actress, who has become a force to reckon with in Indian cinema with stellar performances in every film that she has done so far, has been getting praise for her acting in the film, and especially for the mike-drop moments due to her hilarious dialogues!

Bhumi is thrilled that the makers have empowered her character to deliver the punchlines on screen because it changes the status quo in the industry. After all, a man used to always mouth the best dialogues in a genre like romantic comedy!

Bhumi says, “I honestly have loved delivering the punches in the film and I have to admit that I have been given some of the most hilarious punchlines by Shashank! What I love the most about my dialoguebaazi in Govinda Naam Mera is that they are from the heroine’s side and that’s refreshing for a romantic comedy in the Hindi film industry because traditionally only heroes used to get all the great dialogues in a genre like this and make people laugh.”

She adds, “I’m glad that my producer Karan Johar and my director Shashank Khaitan thought of subverting the norm and empowering a girl to deliver some of the most cracking dialogues that I have seen on screen in recent times. Gauri Waghmare is literally one of most favourite characters that I have played on screen.”

About her character, Bhumi further adds, “She is equal to a man and constantly reminds a man that her gender doesn’t make her inferior and that she is the master of her own actions and decisions. I hope I can entertain everyone with this role and audiences laugh their hearts out when they see the film.”

Also starring Kiara Advani and produced by Dharma Productions, Govinda Naam Mera will stream on Disney+ Hotstar from 16th December.
