Unfortunate I didn't get any powerful characters to play after City of Dreams: Priya Bapat

Actor Priya Bapat says she was disappointed when the acclaim she received for her part in director Nagesh Kukunoor's political drama series City of Dreams didn't translate into more interesting offers.

Bapat, who started her journey in the entertainment industry as a child actor, made her digital debut with the first season of the Disney+ Hotstar show in 2019.

Best known for Marathi films Kaksparsh and Aamhi Doghi, the actor received widespread recognition for playing Poornima Gaikwad, a homemaker who gradually transforms into a politician in City of Dreams season one.

"The value that Poornima adds to the script or any character in City of Dreams... you rarely get to play those kind of defined characters. That''s where my disappointment is. I look forward to getting more interesting characters where they have something to say or contribute in the script," Bapat told PTI in an interview.

The 34-year-old said she is keen to see how the second season of City of Dreams, scheduled to premiere on 30 July, will be received.

"I am still hoping that after season two, maybe people will understand and there will be many more opportunities after this," she added.

The team is working towards presenting the trailer of the film by the end of this month, added Mandadi.

"The film has some great action sequences and is packed with entertainment while the audiences also get treated to Harbhajan Singh, one of biggest names in sports who now also marks his name in the field of entertainment. We certainly cannot wait to take everyone through this journey of Friendship," she said.

Friendship stars Singh in a full fledged role following guest appearances in films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004) and Bhajji in Problem (2013).

The film features Singh, 41, as a mechanical engineering student, who, along with his group of friends in the beginning of first year, manages a clever escapade from the ragging by the seniors.

"What follows next stays a mystery yet to be unfolded as we gradually delve deeper into the emotions with this one of its kind rollercoaster journey of friendship," read the official logline of the film.
