Bhumi Pednekar recalls of a time when SRK’s romantic films were the mass cinema but now…’
In an exclusive interview the actress opened up on the mad world of Muddassar Aziz, the captain of the ship, the idea of doing comedy, and her definition of mass cinema
Bhumi Pednekar clocks a decade in the industry in eight days. Ever since she made her debut, she has lost a lot of weight but gained a lot of confidence and credibility with her choices of films and the performances she has delivered.
Her Sonchiriya is for the ages! She now has a film called Mere Husband Ki Biwi with Arjun Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh.
Sharvari is elated and feels surreal and full of gratitude. She doesn’t think there could have been a better film to complete the circle than
Harsh makes his debut with this film and
has underplayed his character and done very well. His punches have landed really well. He had a great time working with us but we were really tortured (Laughs).
The film goes back and forth between the past and the present, a lot of things happen. The beauty of comedy of this sur is the writing and the meter that has to be delivered.
As far as she is concerned, the one thing the director made sure was that we do not leave that meter. This is her second film with him, and in first film with him Pati Patni Aur Woh, she had a lot of freedom to improvise. But in this film, she was asked to stick to the line because that was the punch. That was a great learning for her also.
Muddassar Aziz’s comedies are sharp and situational and they keep you on your toes.
As he is someone who’s very collaborative. He’s a phenomenal writer and has such a flair to write and he has a flair for dialogues. He has a lot of clarity in terms of what he wants and it actually helps you, as
Arjun mentioned earlier in the interview, he is a great captain. He really holds all of us together and understands the pulse of the family audience.
When she was doing Pati Patni Aur Woh, that was the first time she did a role like that.
Again, Prableen is very different. The things that she is doing in this movie, she has never done such comedy before. So really fortunate to have an ally like that in her life who sees that she is capable of doing newer things.
There was a time when the so-called mass films were the comedies and the audiences are always evolving. Right now we are at that stage where action films are seen with a wider reach, that will keep changing. Romances will also return because if you look at Shah Rukh Khan’s films, audiences literally flocked to the cinemas in massive numbers. It was the mass cinema of that time, the romantic films that he did. It’s just about time.
