Bhumi Pednekar talks about Hollywood

In a recent interview with News18, Bhumi Pednekar spoke about her Hollywood aspirations. She said: "I do have Hollywood aspirations. I feel it is the best time for artists to be ambitious because the world is now a melting pot of cultures, of diversity and authenticity. Actors now can have a very active career internationally because of the kind of films and series that are being made or the kind of roles that are being written for them.”

She adds, “Brown girls are now making waves internationally, by headlining several films and series. Take for instance, Ambika Mod from Netflix’s One Day. It’s so refreshing to see an Indian origin girl play a lead role in such a successful series that has garnered love from its audience globally."

The actress further said that makers are now choosing actors from India or the subcontinent if the character is from that region because of the authenticity. Bhumi said that she would choose an international project based on the fact that it gives her creative satisfaction and joy.
