After considering various actresses like Alia Bhatt, Kriti Sanon and Shraddha Kapoor, the makers of Sanjay Dutt’s comeback film ‘Bhoomi’ have locked Aditi Rao Hydari to plays his daughter in the movie.
Talking about this decision, the film’s director Omung Kumar said, “We shortlisted Aditi because she’s in a good space right now. I love the way she emotes. This, unlike her other projects, will be her film. She’s a relatively untapped actress. The father-daughter relationship is an important aspect of the narrative in this revenge drama. Aditi’s face perfectly blends softness with a lot of strength. Besides, I like to team up people, who seem unlikely to be cast together, in my movies.”
Elaborating further upon Aditi’s part in the film Omung said, “Aditi’s role goes hand-in-hand with Dutt’s track in the film. His journey is physically demanding, while her role will display an array of emotions. So, it’s important that they get along well. They are in fact being trained by a diction expert for the dialect common in Agra.”
