Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar share a great camaraderie, and have also worked together in films such as Mere Husband Ki Biwi (2025), and The Lady Killer (2023).
As Daldal released on January 30, Bhumi Pednekar shared a post on Instagram that read, “Sabr. Shukr. Last year asked me to sit with myself. With doubt. With silence. With questions I didn’t have answers to yet. It asked me to unlearn fear and slowly, gently, learn how to love myself again. Somewhere between long days on set, fragile moments off it, prayers whispered to the universe, and stubborn faith in the work, I kept going. Not because I was fearless but because I still believed. Daldal comes from that place. From vulnerability. From trust. From choosing growth even when the path feels uncertain. Today, I offer this work to you with gratitude, humility, and an open heart. Ready for the love. Ready for the learning. Ready for whatever comes next. Please watch Daldal.”
