Bhumi Pednekar will next be seen in Durgamati which is getting a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video. The trailer of the film was released a few days ago, and it had impressed us.


Recently, while talking about the movie, Bhumi stated, “I knew it will help me push the envelope and I will get to expand myself as an artiste. It was definitely a huge learning experience for me. Horror is a very tough genre because you have to be convincing to an audience who knows that what they are seeing is not real. So, the performances have to carry the film and deliver outstanding entertainment to audiences. I wanted to experience this genre and I was sure that I would be able to deliver a solid performance.”

“I’m very hopeful that audiences will give me as much love as they have given me for all my performances so far when Durgamati releases. I consider myself fortunate that people have always supported and validated my performances and film choicest,” she added.

Bhumi has been a part of multiple genres of films, and the actress is keen to explore all genres. She stated, “I want to explore all genres and put up superlative performances in each one of them. As an artiste, that is my personal ambition. I want to be in the best films that are being made in India today and put up diverse performances that test me, push me to the max. I don’t want to make a genre or a type of film my niche. I want to do it all and try and excel in every project that I take up. Durgamati, for me, was one such project.”

Directed by Ashok, Durgamati also stars Arshad Warsi, Karan Kapadia, Mahie Gill, and Jisshu Sengupta. It will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on 11th December 2020.
