Bhumi Pednekar, who began her acting career with “Dum Laga Ke Haisha”, has an interesting lineup of films slated to hit screens in 2019 and 2020. Anurag Kashyap’s “Saand Ki Aankh” sees her in the role of a shooter.

Bhumi Pednekar made her acting debut with Yash Raj Films’ 2015 offering Dum Laga Ke Haisha. Her performance in the film won her rave reviews from various corners. She has proved her acting mettle by delivering endearing performances in such successful films as Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017), Shubh Mangal Savdhaan (2017) and Lust Stories (2018). She was most recently seen in Abhishek Chaubey’s Sonchiraiya, which tanked at the box-office.
