The phrase “female-led projects” annoys Bhumi Pednekar. “It disgusts me deeply.”

Bhumi Pednekar advocates for the dismissal of misconceptions and support for women-led projects, emphasizing the need for scale and merit.

Actor Bhumi Pednekar criticizes the term “female-led projects” and believes that people are not immediately drawn to films or content led by women. She believes that gender doesn’t define people’s watching preferences, and audiences want to see good cinema and content, not based on gender. She finds this term annoying and ridiculous.

The actress credits her success to her career in portraying strong women on screen, which was fortunate because she started working during a time when women characters were being written for cinema. Directories chose her to headline in projects that showed women as agents of change, showcasing their performances.

The actress praised her film Bhakshak for its global success, focusing on a woman’s willpower to fight patriarchy. She argued that a male-actor-driven project like Bhakshak should not have been a hit if audiences were more likely to watch male-actor-driven films. The film showcased the ugliness of patriarchy and its impact on society.

Bhumi urges filmmakers to produce more projects with the same budget and scale as male actors in India. She highlights successful films like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Lust Stories, Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Saand Ki Aankh, Bala, and Pati Patni Aur Woh, which have had women lead the story. She believes it’s time to reject misconceptions and support projects led by women, giving them the scale and mounting they deserve.
