Bankable star

Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar is very excited as the New Year begins and is looking forward to see six releases. Her forthcoming films are ‘Bheed’, ‘The Ladykiller’, ‘Afwaa’, ‘Bhakshak’ and ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi.’ Hindi film lovers can see many avatars of Bhumi this year. She has already exhibited her versatility in only a few years through her body of work. Bhumi indeed is a fantastic actor of her generation. If we look at her body of work, like “Dum Laga Ke Haisha,” “Badhaai Do,” “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha,” “Lust Stories,” “Sonchiriya,” “Saand Ki Aankh,” “Bala,” “Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan,” “Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitaare” and now “Govinda Naam Mera,” she has entertained with her versatility.  She has acted brilliantly in every film she has done. She is one of those actors who does not need other factors except a good script. She is bold enough to experiment with her characters and that’s what makes her a great actor. Bhumi has redefined the role of an actor in Bollywood. She created her own brand of cinema and managed to strike a chord with the audience. Today she is the most bankable actor.
