Bhumi Pednekar Bags Her Next Film Bala Opposite Ayushmann Khurrana With Stree Director Amar Kaushik

Bhumi Pednekar is one of the busiest young actors in the industry today as she has as many as 6 films in her bag! Anurag Kashyap’s Saand Ki Aankh, Wisdom starring Vicky Kaushal, Pati Patni Aur Who starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Pandey, Alankrita Srivastava’s Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitaare, Karan Johar’s Takht and now Amar Kaushik’s Bala.

Bhumi who was last seen in the dacoit drama Sonchiraiya earlier this year will be shooting and releasing films through this year and the next. For Bala the actress will once more be seen on screen with Ayushmann Khurrana, with whom she has already given big hits like Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan and Dum Laga Ke Haisha.

On collaborating with Stree director Amar Kaushik, Bhumi said, “I thoroughly enjoyed Stree. It was cool, it was funny and it was just a refreshing piece of cinema coming from Bollywood. It was clutter-breaking and that’s why it did so well. What I loved the most was how well it was written and directed and Amar took the film to a whole new level. So, when I was approached for Bala, I was really excited about the fact that he is directing it. Dinoo (Dinesh Vijan) is a fantastic producer and it was this Stree dream team that was making another clutter breaking content film and I was only thrilled to do the film.”

She added, “I honestly feel Amar, Ayushmann and my sensibility are very alike so I’m very sure that I will love what we will create. Amar really knows his world. He really works on building his characters. That’s the process I’m enjoying the most with Amar. I’m looking forward to starting to shoot.”
