Bagging
a
Karan
Johar
directorial
so
early
in
her
career
was
a
dream
come
true
for
Bhumi
Pednekar
who
believes
it's
a
big
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
his
next
Takht.
Directed
by
Johar,
Takht
also
stars
Kareena
Kapoor,
Ranveer
Singh,
Alia
Bhatt,
Vicky
Kaushal,
Janhvi
Kapoor
and
Anil
Kapoor.
"It
was
a
dream
come
true.
I
didn't
expect
to
bag
a
Karan
Johar
film
so
soon
in
my
career.
I
always
hoped
I
would
work
with
him,
he's
a
prolific
filmmaker.
He
has
really
changed
the
game.
He
has
a
great
vision.
I
was
surprised
when
it
happened...
I
immediately
told
my
parents," Bhumi
told
PTI.
Takht
is
set
in
the
Mughal
era
and
chronicles
the
story
of
two
warring
brothers.
While
Bhumi
is
tight-lipped
about
her
role,
the
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha
star
says
she's
happy
that
the
films
she's
doing
aligns
with
her
sensibilities.
"When
I
started
out,
I
didn't
realise
I
would
get
a
chance
to
have
an
effect
on
so
many
people.
I've
been
lucky
to
get
work
I
believe
in
and
which
completely
goes
with
my
sensibilities,
ideas
and
beliefs,"
she
says.
The
actor,
who
has
featured
in
films
like
"Shubh
Mangal
Saavdhan"
and
"Toilet:
Ek
Prem
Katha",
says
she
constantly
looks
for
challenges
and
her
approach
to
work
hasn't
changed
since
her
film
debut
in
2015.
"I
am
an
actor,
a
performer
and
I
always
take
up
work
which
will
keep
me
on
my
toes.
It
should
make
me
say
'How
will
I
do
this,
will
I
convince
people?' I
still
work
as
hard
as
I
did
during
my
first
film.
"My
films
are
doing
well
and
I
feel
happy
but
I'm
also
constantly
thinking
what's
next.
How
do
I
better
myself,
it's
about
constant
improvement.
I
introspect
a
lot.
I
am
super
critical
of
myself.
I
am
very
tough
to
impress,"
she
adds.
The
actor,
who
recently
launched
the
autumn
winter
collection
of
Raisin,
says
in
the
age
of
airport
and
gym
looks
there
is
a
pressure
to
look
good
but
ultimately
one
should
rely
on
what's
comfortable
to
them.
"There's
a
pressure
to
be
true
to
yourself.
Very
often
you
get
confused
because
there
are
so
many
opinions
and
suggestions.
But
I've
realised
everyone
is
an
individual
and
you
have
got
to
do
what
you
are
comfortable
in," she
added.
