Bhumi: Didn't expect to do a KJo film so early in career

Mumbai: 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."

Talking about the director, she said, "He has a great vision. I was surprised when it happened... I immediately told my parents."

While Bhumi is tight-lipped about her role, the Dum Laga Ke Haisha star says she's happy that the films she's doing align 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.

Apart from working in 'Lust Stories', she has featured in films like Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha since 2015.
