Mumbai: Actress Bhumi Pednekar is eagerly anticipating the premiere of her upcoming web series ‘Daldal’, where she returns with a serious and challenging role. In the series, she plays DCP Rita Ferera, a character marked by calmness and emotional restraint.
Bhumi shared her experience working on this project, revealing that understanding and portraying Rita Ferera required significant effort. She explained that Rita’s personality is very composed and controlled, expressing very few emotions outwardly while deeply feeling everything internally. Bhumi said, “When I first read the script of Daldal, I realised this character would not be easy to grasp. It took me about four to five months to fully understand Rita’s emotional depth.”
During this period, Bhumi engaged in extensive discussions and healthy debates with director Amrit Raj Gupta and producer Suresh Triveni to capture the nuances of the role accurately. She recalled an instance, “When Rita sees a dead body for the first time, the natural assumption is that she might vomit or panic. But Suresh clarified that Rita wouldn’t react that way, as those are common responses. I asked what I should do instead, how to react, and we spent hours discussing such subtle questions.”
Bhumi also noted that Rita’s limited emotional range meant she had to work creatively within strict boundaries while acting. Particularly in scenes where Rita meets her mother, each reaction had to be different yet controlled. She added, “Maintaining that calm and control during acting was exhausting. I would feel drained after the shoots, but completing this project brought me immense satisfaction.”
‘Daldal’ is based on Vish Dhamija’s bestselling novel ‘Bhendi Bazaar’. The series is directed by Amrit Raj Gupta and produced under the Abundance Entertainment banner by Vikram Malhotra and Suresh Triveni. Alongside Bhumi, the series features Samara Tijori and Aditya Rawal in key roles.
The series will premiere on Prime Video on 30 January and will be available simultaneously in India and across 240 countries worldwide.
