However, Singh had no role to play in his daughter's unexpected dream launch. According to Bhumicka, Dharmesh spotted her at a Bandra signal and screeched his car to a halt before he identified her as Hari Singh's daughter.
"He told me about the film that he was directing for Venus and wanted to know whether I'd be interested in it. Then 10 days later he called me and told me that he had decided to launch me in his film. It took me sometime to come to terms with the news, considering it is the best launch any newcomer can have in films," she says.
Bhumicka will play one of the three parallel female leads in the film, the other two being essayed by Priyanka Chopra and Amisha Patel.
She laughs off media reports quoting her as saying she wants to become an 'Aishwarya Rai'. "Aishwarya Rai is a very big star in her own right and I am just a newcomer as of now. I don't have any such notions that I want to be so and so. I'd just like to make my own place and identity in acting," she says.
