Bhumi Pednekar feels that Ranveer Singh could have been a sexologist, if he was not an actor. On Neha Dhupia’s podcast No Filter Neha, Bhumi took Ranveer’s name when asked to suggest an actor who would make for a good ‘sex upchaar doctor’ and said, “I think he will have some great hacks.”During the chat, Bhumi also talked about auditioning Ranveer for Band Baaja Baaraat when she was a casting director. “I’m actually in the audition, it’s on YouTube,” she said, adding that she found it when one of the fan clubs tagged her. “It was great fun yaar, his energy was just amazing, I was blown away. I was so intimidated by him because I was like, my god what a fantastic actor and what energy. From whatever I’ve heard from Shanoo (Sharma, casting director at Yash Raj Films) he is as authentic as it gets,” she said.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Bhumi will be playing the role of an IAS officer in her next film ‘Durgavati’ which will be the Hindi remake of a Tamil horror-thriller helmed by G. Ashok. Bhumi, who was recently seen in the Netflix original film Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, revealed what it was like for her during the lockdown. She said that while some days were ‘really, really good’, she just felt like getting out of her house on others. Bhumi has been involved with organisations that work towards the conservation of the planet and it was this work that gave her a ‘new purpose’ during the lockdown, when film shoots were on hold. On the other hand, Ranveer is currently awaiting the release of his sports drama ‘83’ and ‘Jayesbhai Jordaar.’ Both Bhumi and Ranveer are also a part of Karan Johar’s multi-starrer ‘Takht.’
