Even since then, Bhumi’s choices in films, be it Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan or Netflix’s Lust Stories, have seen her playing a pivotal role. Her upcoming film Sonchiriya also shows her playing a strong and empowered woman. Undoubtedl­y, Bhumi’s choices in films have been great so far and if sources are to be believed, she is all set to add another feather in her filmograph­y with a sports drama. According to sources, Bhumi is all set to do a sports film, which draws its inspiratio­n from a real- life sportswoma­n but the story is fictionali­sed and therefore won’t be tagged as a biopic.

“Bhumi is busy doing her look test for this sports film. After her promotiona­l activities and other commitment­s, Bhumi rushes for the look tests and she has been doing this for three days now,” says a source.

The source also adds that Taapsee Pannu, who was last seen in Manmarziya­an, is also playing an important role in this yet- untitled sports film along with Bhumi.

When we tried to ask Bhumi about this film, she remained tight- lipped and walked away with a smile.

There is no definite name as to which sports person this film is based on as Bhumi remains mum on the question
