Actress and a environment activist, Bhumi Pednekar feels that this is time now that Bollywood as a community comes together and portrays a sustainable way of living in their films.
Films have a lot of influence on people, especially Bollywood films on Hindi viewers, With films like Sholay, Bollywood saw a flourish in bold characters like ‘Basanti’. New conversations are always raised with a good film, like Padmavat and Udta Punjab, forced us to look closely at Certificate board and their practice of censoring creative freedom.
Bhumi has always been a crusader for change, she recently in an interview with IANS said, “I definitely feel that it’s high time that Hindi cinema starts showing a sustainable way of living in their films. I feel like as a fraternity we are woke and I personally would like to believe that we are more conscious than other industries, but I still feel like we aren’t doing enough.”
Bhumi has delivered great performances in past years, her performance in ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ and ‘Dum Lagake Haisha’ proved that she has great potential. There are three movies lined up for the actress, ‘Mr. Lele’, ‘Raksha Bandhan’ and ‘Badhaai Do’ and it will be exciting to see her message adapted in her work.
Concluding her message she added, “I do feel that we need narratives in films/ movies that provide the communication as it’s the most powerful medium to get the message across to the masses.”
