Mumbai: Actress Bhumi Pednekar said that she wants to play the role of a freedom fighter.

"I am such a greedy actor. I want to do all kinds of roles. I want to run around trees or anything. Of course, material has to be good. However, I would love to play a freedom fighter. It is something that I am dying to do. If somebody is making a movie on a freedom fighter, please take me," said Bhumi.

As such, she doesn't want to limit herself to the kind of films she wants to do. (Also Read: Bhumi Pednekar is a 'Hungry Actor.' She Wants to do 'Credible Work')

"I don't have a favourite genre as I have done only one film. I do not know what kind of films I will do. I literally go by my instinct while I read a script. As an actor, I think I should be capable of doing every kind of film. I don't want to stick to a certain kind of film," added Bhumi.

Bhumi made her debut in Bollywood with 2015's Dum Laga Ke Haisha, co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana. Bhumi and Ayushmann will soon be seen in Manmarziyan.

When Bhumi was asked why she took time to sign her second film, she said: "I read many scripts, but I wanted to do something that clicks.

Manmarziyan is a classic love story that is very relevant in today's time. Today, even in a relationship, there are shades of grey. It shows the most real aspect of a relationship. My character's name is Rumi. A Punjabi girl from Amritsar. You may see shades of Bhumi in the character."
