Bhumi Pednekar adds six brands to her kitty during pandemic

By: Mohnish Singh

Most recently seen in Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare (2020), Bhumi Pednekar is not only creating ripples in Bollywood but also in the world of advertising. By delivering back-to-back hits and fearlessly voicing her opinions on various topics of importance, she has strengthened her brand equity like no other actor from the current crop.


This is one of the reasons why brands are queueing up in front of her doors with lucrative deals. It is to note here that the actress has already signed six exciting brand deals during the Coronavirus pandemic.

A brand expert says, “Today, all brands are looking for endorsers with substance. The pandemic has changed the dynamics forever and all brands want to be sure that the celebrity endorser should have a voice of his/her own and stand for values and ethics. There is a reason why someone like Bhumi Pednekar’s equity has shot through the roof because she stands for progressive cinema, aims at representing the free-thinking modern Indian woman correctly on the screen and also raises her voice for future generations with her climate change initiative.”

Ever since making her silver screen debut with Yash Raj Films’ much-loved romantic comedy-drama Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015), Bhumi Pednekar has chosen characters that are not only well-written but also have a voice of their own. From playing a sportswoman in Saand Ki Aankh (2019) to portraying a progressive housewife in Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), the actress has proved her mettle time and again.

On the work front, Pednekar next stars in an upcoming horror thriller titled Durgavati. Helmed by G. Ashok, the film is a remake of superhit Telugu and Tamil offering Bhaagamathie, starring Anushka Shetty in the lead role. Earlier scheduled to release on 11th December, Durgavati is now expected to hit screens in the first half of 2021.

The man who started it all, Dadasaheb Phalke, the pioneer of Indian cinema, is set to be immortalised on screen not once, but twice. In a surprising turn, two major biopics on the "Father of Indian Cinema" are in the works, with Bollywood and Tollywood’s biggest stars stepping into his shoes.

First, reports emerged that Jr NTR will portray Phalke in Made in India, a project backed by RRR director SS Rajamouli. The film, announced last year, will be a pan-India release diving into the birth of Indian cinema. Sources say NTR was instantly drawn to the script, fascinated by lesser-known aspects of Phalke’s journey. The actor, always known for his high-action roles, will take on a more subdued, dramatic part this time.

Scarlett Johansson slams Oscars for snubbing 'Avengers: Endgame' for Best Picture and calls out lengthy award shows

Scarlett Johansson has once again voiced her frustration over the Oscars overlooking Avengers: Endgame for the Best Picture category. The actress, known for portraying Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, expressed her disbelief during an interview. She questioned how a film as groundbreaking and successful as Endgame managed to receive only one nomination, for visual effects, at the 2020 Academy Awards.

“It was an impossible movie that shouldn’t have worked, yet it did, both as a film and as a cultural moment,” Johansson remarked. She pointed out that the film not only pushed creative boundaries but also became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. Despite its global impact and critical acclaim, Endgame remained absent from major Oscar categories, including Best Picture.

Lois Lane confronts Superman as Lex Luthor invades the Fortress in the new trailer for James Gunn’s 'Superman'

James Gunn’s Superman is shaping up to be more than just another cape-and-costume affair. The latest trailer doesn’t just show off epic battles or a parade of DC heroes; instead, it throws us straight into a tense one-on-one between the Man of Steel and the woman who refuses to let him off the hook.

In this new version, Clark Kent, played by David Corenswet, is already known to Lois Lane as Superman. There’s no awkward glasses game here, just straight talk! And Lois isn’t starstruck. She’s sharp, sceptical, and not afraid to press him on the ethics of playing global policeman. Her questions about his involvement in a foreign conflict cut through the usual superhero fanfare. Was he saving lives, or stepping over a line?
