Bhumi Pednekar: I use my instincts to choose films

Actress Bhumi Pednekar is on a roll. One after the other, the actress is doing highly acclaimed films and has quite an impressive list of movies in her kitty. Her debut film, ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ had won a National Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi and her films ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ and ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’ have also received high praises from the audience and critics alike. Bhumi is now all set to play the female lead in the upcoming Abhishek Chaubey directorial ‘Chambal’, based on the Chambal decoits. The actress says she goes with her instinct when it comes to choosing scripts.

Bhumi recently spoke about the film to a leading media agency, and stated,  “I have never really chased a ‘breaking that mould’… I am not an actor who sees that now I will do romantic, urban, thriller films. I am not that sort of an actor. I purely go by my instinct when I read a script.” The actress also said that she doesn’t understand, “what might be good or bad for my career”.

“I read a script and if the character and film excites me, I just want to be a part of it. That’s the person I am,” she added. “I literally chase characters and I know that it (‘Chambal’) is going to be challenging and is a tough film for me as well. I am very thrilled about doing this,” the actress concluded.
