Bala director Amar Kaushik on Bhumi Pednekar's role: Initially thought about casting dark-complexioned actor

Targeted for casting Bhumi Pednekar in a role for which she needed to have a darker skin tone, "Bala" director Amar Kaushik says not experimenting with the look of a character will confine an actor only to a "particular kind of role". Describing Bhumi as "superb" for the part of a lawyer comfortable in her skin, he said his team initially thought about approaching an actor with a dark complexion but that didn't materialize.
