Bhumi
Pednekar
who
has
always
impressed
us
with
her
acting
chops
in
films
like
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha,
Shubh
Mangal
Saavdhan,
Saand
Ki
Aankh,
is
back
with
a
bang!
The
trailer
of
her
much-awaited
film
Durgamati
is
finally
out,
and
as
expected,
the
actress
blows
your
mind
in
the
3.20
minute
trailer.
For
the
unversed,
this
Bhumi
Pednekar
starrer
is
the
Hindi
remake
of
Anushka
Shetty's
2018
film
Bhaagmathie.
The
trailer
begins
with
an
introduction
to
the
haunted
Durgamati
palace
which
is
said
to
have
hidden
a
lot
of
secrets
in
it.
Things
took
a
spine-chilling
turn
when
Bhumi
Pednekar's
character
Chanchal,
a
government
officer
is
imprisoned
in
the
haunted
house
for
interrogation.
Chanchal,
unaware
of
the
sinister
conspiracy,
gets
entangled
in
a
web
of
deceit
and
revenge.

Earlier,
in
an
interaction
with
Mumbai
Mirror,
Bhumi
Pednekar
had
shared
that
she
is
scared
of
horror
films.
Speaking
about
why
she
took
up
Durgamati,
the
actress
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
took
it
on
as
a
challenge
as
the
arc
of
the
character
is
very
diverse.
Otherwise,
I
am
scared
of
horror
films
and
watch
them
through
slitted
eyes
after
putting
idols
all
around
the
television.
We
were
shooting
at
old,
dilapidated
places
but
luckily,
the
vibes
were
good,
otherwise
I
would
have
been
really
spooked."
In
an
official
statement,
Bhumi
Pednekar
said,
"I'm
super
excited
about
my
upcoming
film
Durgamati
and
it's
an
honour
to
play
the
lead
in
this
conspiracy
thriller.Being
an
ardent
fan
of
spine-chilling
thrillers
myself,
I
was
delighted
to
be
a
part
of
such
a
gripping
story.
Also,
I
am
glad
to
collaborate
with
Akshay
Sir
again
after
3
years
and
present
this
wonderful
film
for
audiences
across
the
world."
