Bhumi Satish Pednekkar Interview | Daldal | Prime Video | Filme Shilmy

Описание: Bhumi Satish Pednekkar joins Anuj Radia in unpacking the psychological weight of portraying DCP Rita and the emotional architecture that shapes the character. The interview explores vulnerability as strength, the fine line between hero and antagonist, and how trauma, empathy and restraint inform Rita’s moral choices. Pednekkar also reflects on the responsibility of storytelling, the importance of craft-led performances, and why Daldal resists easy catharsis in favour of deeper social introspection.

Streaming on Prime Video, Daldal is produced by Abundantia Entertainment and Suresh Triveni, with Amrit Raj Gupta serving as the director. The series is adapted from Vish Dhamija's book, 'Bhendi Bazaar' and stars Bhumi Pednekar alongside Aditya Rawal and Samara Tijori. The 7-episode show presents a psychologically charged crime drama that examines fractured childhoods, systemic failure and the loss of innocence. Set against a stark, atmospheric Mumbai, the series uses restraint, mood and character psychology to explore how individuals are shaped, or broken, by the environments they grow up in.

Pednekkar is one of contemporary Hindi cinema’s most socially conscious performers, known for blending mainstream appeal with purpose-driven storytelling. She made her debut with Dum Laga Ke Haisha and has since delivered acclaimed performances in films such as Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Sonchiriya, Badhaai Do, Bhakshak and Saand Ki Aankh. Beyond acting, Bhumi is recognised for her advocacy around gender equity, environmental sustainability and social justice, often using her platform to drive meaningful conversations beyond the screen.
