My aspiration is for this film to reach audiences across the globe as it makes its mark on Netflix across 190 countries.”
Talking about her role, Pednekar said: “In my journey as an actor, I’ve always been drawn to clutter-breaking films that go beyond the conventional narrative. Bhakshak is also one such film, in fact, it is one of the most significant films of my career. This has been a profound experience and I am very grateful for scripts like ‘Bhakshak’ and characters like Vaishali Singh that have the courage to tell these powerful narratives. I truly believe in the transformative potential of storytelling, and I am committed to choosing roles that not only push boundaries, and break stereotypes, but also ignite discussions that pave the way for meaningful change. Bhakshak is an important film and I can’t wait to share our labour of love with audiences around the world.”
‘Bhakshak’ will premiere on February 9 exclusively on Netflix.
