Bhumi Pednekar is good to go to work together with Nawazuddin Siddiqui for the first time for Sudhir Mishra’s next, ‘Afwaah’. The movie was announced recently which will be backed by Bhushan Kumar and Anubhav Sinha.

Recently, Bhumi talked about working with Nawazuddin for the first time.  She always wanted to work with him and she waited long for this opportunity.

While talking to MidDay, the actress called Nawazuddin a ‘stalwart’ in cinema and ‘one of the best actors’ in the country. She also said that she is going to learn so much from him. She also said that working with Sudhir Mishra was always on her bucket list. Bhumi went on to call him an ‘actor’s dream director’.

The film will be on floors soon and will be shot in an elaborate schedule in Alwar, Rajasthan. Prior to talking about the fresh pairing, Sudhir shared in a statement, “It’s a story I have lived with for a long time and I have only worked each day to make it quirky and twisted. Beneath all of the quirkiness lies a crucial message which I want my viewers to take back home with them. Bhumi and Nawaz are both such powerhouse performers and together they bring a fresh chemistry. I can’t wait to be on set with them.”
