Bhumi Pednekar made her web series debut with the recently released glitzy-glam series, The Royals. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the series sees Bhumi Pednekar as a strong-willed entrepreneur named Sophia Shekhar, and she’s grabbing headlines for all the right reasons. Recently, director Priyanka Ghose opened up about Bhumi’s role and shared her views behind casting her as the leading lady.Priyanka said, “Her impulsiveness was on paper. We leaned into it, knowing Bhumi could pull it off without making it overbearing. With any other actor, I’d be skeptical. In India, we don’t easily accept authoritative women. But Bhumi has softness and vulnerability. Sophia is flawed, and only Bhumi could make her likable. Sophia is Bhumi in real life.”While Bhumi is basking in the positive response for The Royals, she will be seen next in Daldal, a series wherein she plays a police officer in the Amazon Prime Video thriller.
