Bhumi Pednekar is on roll currently after having back to back releases with Saand Ki Aankh, Bala and Pati Patni Aur Woh. And now Bhumi is all set to begin shoot for her first horror project, Durgavati.
Backed by Bhushan Kumar, Akshay Kumar and Vikram Malhotra, Durgavati is the Hindi remake of Telugu horror film Bhaagamathie.
