Bhumika Gurung speaks about her debut Hindi film 'The Secret Of Devkaali'

Actress Bhumika Gurung, who is currently seen in tv show Bas Itna Sa Khwab, is excited about her debut Hindi film ‘The Secret Of Devkaali’. Sharing more on her film she says,”Everything happened very fast – after agreeing to the film, I quickly found myself on set, ready to shoot. I was incredibly excited, mainly because even though I didn’t have any scenes with the great Sanjay Mishra sir, he is part of the cast. For me, this was a huge opportunity as I’ve always been a fan of actors, not just stars. Sanjay Mishra sir is someone I deeply admire and look up to as an actor. I hope someday I’ll have the chance to share screen space with him.” Sharing details about her look in the film she says,”I can’t reveal too much at this point, but it’s very different from anything I’ve done before. The look is gothic and dark. My skin tone was altered to match the film’s color palette and the setting of the Kabila (tribe) I belong to in the story. The makeup, hair, jewellery, and costumes were uniquely designed to align with the film’s aesthetic. I was absolutely in love with the look, and it added so much to my character. The very first day when I looked at myself in the mirror it was quite a pleasant surprise.”

She also shares her experience on her co-stars in the film. ”
Regarding my co-stars, I didn’t have the chance to work with many of them. But the ones I shot with were exceptionally talented. The director, producer, and lead actor, Niraj Chauhan, were incredible. Niraj is supremely talented, and I can’t wait for the audience to witness his performance alongside the rest of us. The film is shaping up to be an unforgettable one.The director pushed us to deliver our best, which involved multiple retakes, voice modulation, and refining body language and expressions. It wasn’t just about getting the take right; it was about diving deep into the role, which was a learning experience for me as an actress.”
On being asked about her debut in big screen she says,”A big-screen debut is a dream for every actor, and I feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have this opportunity. I’m eagerly looking forward to the film’s release in theaters. I believe negative roles are vital to a film’s success as they add depth and excitement. Personally, I find playing villains more creative and challenging. I’d love to explore more negative roles in the future while balancing positive ones as well.”

Bhumika plays the main antagonist of the film, her character name is  Mudra, who runs and oversees an entire tribe or Kabila. The film also stars amazing talents like Prashant Narayanji Sanjay Mishra, Mahesh Manjrekar, and Zarina Wahab. It’s a performance-based, non-commercial film, and I believe it will resonate with the audience.”
