‘Trying to do something disruptive again,’ says Bhumi on her ‘Govinda Naam Mera’ character

Bhumi Pednekar is reaping praises for her incredible acting and dialogue delivery in her upcoming film ‘Govinda Naam Mera’, a comic thriller. She said that with her character, she is trying to do something “disruptive” again.

Bhumi said: “I’m actually thrilled that filmmakers can feel that I can really work hard and try and pull off any role that they offer me. That to me is the biggest validation for my work and my skill set as an artiste. My character in ‘Govinda Naam Mera’ is me trying to do something disruptive again, trying to change it up again with each film and hopefully wowing people with my performance.”

She added: “I hate to be put into a mold and I constantly look to challenge the status quo and do something subversive. I’m delighted that audiences are loving my character in the trailer. It’s just a tease of what to expect in the film. She is a firecracker of a woman, she is grey and I love her because she is just hilariously entertaining.”

The film is slated to release on Disney+ Hotstar.

Directed by Shashank Khaitan, ‘Govinda Naam Mera’, is about a charming Govinda Waghmare who juggles his time and love between his wife and his girlfriend in this dose of chaos, confusion, and laughter.

On the work front, Bhumi has an interesting lineup of films – ‘Afwaah’, ‘Bheed’, ‘Lady Killer’ and ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’.

Varun Dhawan, Abhishek Banerjee used to mimic Akshay Kumar’s comic timing

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan and his ‘Bhediya’ co-actor Abhishek Banerjee recalled how they used to mimic Akshay Kumar during the shoot of their film and try to follow his comic timing for perfection in their performance.

Varun shared: “I remember, during the first schedule of Bhediya, we were shooting in Mira Road and it was my first scene with Abhishek. And, Kriti would come from Bachchhan Paandey’s shoot, and seeing her, we would start acting in Akshay Kumar Ji’s style in every scene. Kriti would actually start and later on, we would jump into it.”

Known for his action roles, Khiladi Kumar is also popular for his comic characters in movies such as ‘Bachchhan Paandey’, ‘Housefull’, ‘Welcome’, ‘And Khatta Meetha’ among others.

Abhishek added: “Akshay sir’s comedy timing is the best. Whenever we are confused about the approach to a scene, we would start talking or acting like him. When his energy gets into you, your performance gets better automatically.”

Varun also went on to praise the host of the show, Kapil Sharma for his contribution to comedy and for making the genre popular among the audience.”There was a stigma around comedy as a genre but Kapil has broken that stigma. In our country, people assume that the ones who are dumb do comedy whereas, in reality, people who do comedy are intelligent and wittiest of all,” said Varun, who is appearing on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show for the promotion of his upcoming film ‘Bhediya’ along with Kriti Sanon, Abhishek Banerjee, Deepak Dobriyal, and director Amar Kaushik.

‘The Kapil Sharma Show airs on Sony Entertainment Television.

We did around 16 takes for this scene and at the end, the team had to put padding and fix it. Then when I performed the shot with the same energy I bounced back. That shot was the most challenging scene of my entire career.”

Furthermore, Kriti goes on to praise and share how before the film started Varun was instructed to grow hair on his entire body and one can see his hard work in the film.
