HERE'S WHY BHUMI PEDNEKAR IS FOLLOWING A STRICT AND UNIQUE REGIME

Bhumi Pednekar's next venture, Sone Ki Chidiya, will be helmed by Abhishek Chaubey of Udta Punjab and Ishqiya fame in which she'll be playing the role of a village girl from the Chambal valley. This film will also give us a new pairing altogether of, Bhumi and Sushant Singh Rajput, where the latter will be donning the role of a dacoit. The film is expected to go on floors in January and in the meanwhile both the actors are busy prepping for their respective roles.

Bhumi has been following a very unusual and strict regimen in order to get into the skin of the character. She's ditched the modern techniques of working out for the older ones as the actress is now lifting buckets filled with water, walking in the sweltering heat along with sweeping and mopping the floors. According to sources, Abhishek has visualized Bhumi's character in a particular way and she's doing all that she can to live up to the director's vision.

A source told DNA:

 "Bhumi has chosen dusty suburban fields to swanky gyms as her training ground and her workout regime now includes walking with buckets filled with water on her head under the boiling sun, sweeping and cleaning floors, walking barefoot in dusty fields and lanes, grinding wheat, among other rigorous household chores that rural women do."

The source added:

"It was Abhishek's advice to Bhumi that altered her routine. Abhishek is a perfectionist and he wanted Bhumi to transform herself into the character. Bhumi is now training to become the character that Abhishek Chaubey envisioned."

Bhumi is very excited to play this role and after having given some commercially and critically acclaimed performances, we can't wait to see her performance in this film too.
