Bhumi Pednekar reflects on February being a lucky month for films: "Now 'Bhakshak' is slated to..."

Bollywood star Bhumi Pednekar is ready to wow people again with her next Bhakshak. Bhumi headlines a gritty crime thriller, playing a dogged underdog journalist who takes on a giant of a villain exploiting young girls at a women’s shelter! 

Bhumi has had incredible February successes right since her debut as an actor. She hopes Bhakshak also emulates the same when it releases on February 9th, 2024.

Bhumi says, “For me, the month of February has been most special ever since my debut as an actor. My first film, Dum Laga Ke Haisha, was released in February, and it got me so much love, acclaim and respect that it cemented my position as an envelope-pushing actor in the industry. It was a true disruptor of the project. I couldn’t believe the outpouring of appreciation coming my way for my first film, and I will be forever indebted to this film for giving me a dream start to my film career.”

She adds, “My film Badhaai Do was also released in Feb.. It was a game-changing film for my career and for the film industry as we openly celebrated the LGBTQIA+ community and their rights. It was also special for me because I stood up for something I truly believed in and was proudly vocal about it. Again, like Dum Laga Ke Haisha, I was flooded with love. The praise, the countless Best Actress awards, the opportunities that were unlocked because of Badhaai Do is stuff that dreams are made of!” 

Bhumi further says, “Now, Bhakshak is slated to release on Feb 9th! It is one of the most important films that I have done in my career, and I hope that the project, my director Pulkit, and I get the same amount of love that I received for Dum Laga Ke Haisha and Badhaai Do! I hope February is again lucky for me, and I manage to deliver a performance that people will remember forever.”

Bhumi Pednekar was last seen in the film 'The Ladykiller' alongside Arjun Kapoor and fans are excited to watch her in 'Bhakshak'.
