Sonchiriya was a slow-burning thriller based on the life of the dacoits of the Chambal district. It had an ensemble cast featuring Bhumi, Sushant, Manoj Bajpayee, and Ranveer Shorey, among others. Its dialogues were entirely in the Bundeli dialect.
Although the film did not perform well at the box office, it received critical acclaim for its storytelling, cinematography, and strong performances.
Earlier this week, the actress also celebrated 10 years of her rom-com 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', which starred actor Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead role.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Bhumi is currently seen in 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi', which also stars actors Arjun Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh.
The film also features Dino Morea, Harsh Gujral, Shakti Kapoor, and others. Mudassar Aziz, who previously helmed projects like Khel Khel Mein and Pati Patni Aur Woh, has directed Mere Husband Ki Biwi.
Presented by Vashu Bhagnani and Puja Films and produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, and Deepshikha Deshmukh, Mere Husband Ki Biwi was released in theatres on February 21.
