Bhumi Pednekar has announced her latest project, an investigative series titled ‘Daldal’.
Following her success in ‘Bhakshak’, she is now stepping into the role of a cop for this Prime Video series, directed by Amrit Raj Gupta.
At an event on Tuesday, Bhumi shared her excitement about the series, highlighting the challenges it brought, particularly in a genre she hasn’t explored before.
The series follows Mumbai’s newly appointed DCP Rita Ferreira as she grapples with her past, present demons, and investigates a series of murders that lead her to a chilling encounter with a serial killer.
Based on Vish Dhamija’s ‘Bhendi Bazaar’, the show promises a gripping narrative. In the meantime, Bhumi continues to receive praise for her role as a journalist in ‘Bhakshak’, which is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
“I love to challenge myself and I would say Daldal has been the most challenging part… I have never explored this kind of genre before….A lot of physical work was also involved,” Bhumi said. The official synopsis of the show read, “Haunted by the guilt of her past and dealing with the demons of her present, Mumbai’s newly appointed DCP Rita Ferreira, must embark on an investigation of a series of murders that puts her on a collision course with a cold-blooded serial killer, even as she has to save her life from falling apart.”
Directed by Pulkit and produced by Gauri Khan and Gaurav Verma, ‘Bhakshak’ features a strong cast including Sanjay Mishra, Aditya Srivastava, Sai Tamhankar, and Bhumi Pednekar.
