Talking about the film Kusha responded, 'Vyarth' is more than just a film; it's a mirror reflecting the very real struggle against typecasting in our industry, a challenge central to Bhumi's journey. As an actor, you dive deep into your character's soul but as a producer, you have to pull back and look at the entire picture. It's a powerful shift from 'how do I deliver this line?' to 'how do all these elements create impact?' This journey, from making funny videos in my room to acting in films and now co-producing, feels like a natural evolution.'
Vyarth is a film around an underrated actress Bhumi who is tired of being typecast in conventional roles. Her aspirations are seemingly crushed when she receives an offer for the role of a mother. The plot takes an intriguing turn when Bhumi's younger flatmate, Meenakshi, seeks her help with the very same audition.
The film is directed and produced by Pankaj Dayani, who has been an assistant director on Newton. The film is written by Fahim Irshad. Casting Director Romil Modi is also associated with films like Laapata Ladies, All we Imagine as Light. The Monica O My Darling fame Cinematographer Swapnil S. Sonawale has beautifully captured the crux of the film.

6 Secrets Behind Bhumi Pednekar's 35 Kilos Weight Loss
Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar 's incredible weight loss journey has inspired many. The talented star, who made her debut in the 2015 film Dum Laga Ke Haisha, gained over 30 kilos for her breakout role. Later, she shed an impressive 35 kilos without extreme diets or shortcuts. So, what is the secret behind her transformation? From dietary changes to fitness routines, here are some simple yet effective tips that helped her achieve her weight loss goals. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bhumi Pednekar (@bhumipednekar) 1. Healthy Diet and Portion Control Losing weight doesn't require skipping meals and eating tiny portions. Her meal planning was centred on nourishment and balance. "Food was never the enemy," Bhumi once told Times of India that she prioritised portion control and home-cooked meals over eliminating entire food groups. She ate with awareness, incorporating lean proteins, sabzi, handmade rotis and seasonal fruits. 2. Breakfast Ritual Every morning, she started with something healthy. Fresh fruit, a small amount of porridge or toast and a handful of soaked almonds would set the tone for the day. Ditching trendy bowls or fancy smoothies, she opted for straightforward and reliable meals. By fuelling herself early, she avoided energy slumps and needless snacking later in the day. 3. Workout Routine Sticking to one type of workout often becomes monotonous. She was constantly changing things up. Bhumi's exercise regimen was unexpectedly diverse and personal. Rather than going for what appeared to be hard, she chose exercises that made her feel good, like Pilates, weight training, long walks outdoors and dance-based routines. 4. Mental Strength Despite the fact that she had to put on weight for her debut project, public affection and support kept her mentally strong. She did not consider her weight a weakness. The star took advantage of it as a springboard to regain her health at her own pace instead. The shift was driven by purpose rather than shame, which is why her emotional well-being remained unaffected. 5. Patience And Time Bhumi took her time with her weight loss journey. There was neither a crash phase nor a deadline. Every kilogram lost was the result of perseverance and preparation. The actress said that she paid more attention to how her clothes fit and how she felt on the inside than to the number on the scale. She achieved a lasting and side-effect-free transformation by slowing down. 6. Being Open About Her Feelings Bhumi Pednekar candidly shared her feelings about the struggle of early mornings, the discipline required, emotional eating and the occasional touch of self-doubt. She kept it honest and real in a field where transformations are typically glamorised. Bhumi Pednekar lost oodles of weight using these 6 secrets, so can you.
