Bhumi Pednekar Ecstatic As “Bala” Becomes Her Second ₹ 100 Crore Film

Bhumi Pednekar is on cloud nine! It has only been five years since she made her acting debut with Yash Raj Films critically and commercially successful offering Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015), but the actress has already delivered two ₹ 100 crore films. Bhumi Pednekar is presently basking in the massive success of her latest film Bala which has become her second film to have entered the coveted ₹ 100 crore club. Her first ₹ 100 crore film was Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017) with superstar Akshay Kumar.

The actress is delighted with Bala joining the ₹ 100 crore club. “I am thrilled with the response that Bala has received from audiences. It is an important film that says very, very important things for everyone to hear and think about. I am glad that the people are giving it so much love,” says the actress.

The actress goes on to add, “Having another 100-crore hit under my belt is obviously an amazing feeling but what is even sweeter is that socially relevant films like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and now Bala have reached so many people with their message. When films like these do well, it impacts social consciousness and has the power to bring about positive change. So, as an actor, I am hugely overwhelmed and feel gratitude that such films are working so well in our country.”

Besides Bhumi Pednekar, Bala also stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Yami Gautam in lead roles. In fact, this is her third film with Khurrana after Dum Laga Ke Haisha and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017). The actress does not only congratulate him on the success but also the entire team. “I congratulate my partner in crime, Ayushmann Khurrana, with whom I now have a hattrick of hits and the full team of Bala – Yami Gautam, my amazingly talented director Amar Kaushik, my producer Dinesh Vijan, and the entire cast and crew who have tirelessly worked to make this film a super success,” the actress concludes.
