Bhumi Pednekar has carved a niche for herself in Bollywood with her career trajectory. The actor starred in four movies last year including Saand Ki Aankh, Sonchiriya, Bala, and Pati Patni Aur Woh. According to the reports, all the movies were either critically lauded or did pretty well at the box office. Bhumi's performance especially has been appreciated by both the film critics and the audience. Not so long ago, Akshay Kumar announced his next project titled Durgavati, in which, Bhumi Pednekar will play the protagonist. If the recent reports are to be believed, Arshad Warsi has been roped in to play the antagonist in the film.
