Bhumi Pednekar who kick-started her career in Ayushmann Khurana’s Dum Laga Ke Haisha is currently one of the most bankable actresses in Bollywood. As of now, the Durgamati star has multiple projects in her kitty, and most recently it was reported that the actress has been approached for Ali Abbas Zafar’s upcoming Netflix film opposite Shahid Kapoor. However, the talented star has now refused to work on the massive project.
The said film will be high on the action as it is based on just one night and revolves around a father’s struggle who is trying to save his kidnapped child. The yet-untitled film is an official remake of Tomer Sisley’s French thriller Nuit Blanche or Sleepless Night.
A few weeks ago it was reported that Bhumi Pednekar will be seen opposite Shahid Kapoor for the Ali Abbas Zafar’s Netflix film; however, a source close to the actress has some unfortunate news. Talking to Bollywood Hungama, the source said, “Bhumi was approached for the role. The makers felt she will fit the bill as Shahid’s wife and although the film primarily traces one day in Shahid’s life, Bhumi’s role is extremely important and pivotal. The makers had offered the film to Bhumi a few weeks ago.”
