'Badhaai Do' humour not at the expense of LGBTQI community, it's a sensitive film: Bhumi Pednekar

The film 'Badhaai Do' features Bhumi Pednekar as a lesbian who gets into a marriage of convenience with Rajkummar Rao's character.

Mumbai: Actor Bhumi Pednekar says her upcoming comedy-drama "Badhaai Do" talks about "love and acceptance" through a sensitive lens, never using its humour against the LGBTQI community to mine cheap laughs.

The film features Pednekar as a lesbian physical education teacher Sumi, who gets into a marriage of convenience with actor Rajkummar Rao's Shardul Thakur, who the makers teased will be a gay policeman.

The film is billed as a spiritual sequel to the National Award-winning 2018 hit "Badhaai Ho!".
