Actor Puru Chibber feels blessed that filmmaker Omung Kumar had faith in his craft and roped him for "Bhoomi".

"Acting in 'Bhoomi' was a responsibility for me as Omung sir trusted me and had faith in me. I have known him for long. I have known him since the time I used to assist Sanjay sir (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) for 'Saawariya'," Puru said in a statement.

"I'm thankful to Sandeep (Singh) sir and Omung sir for giving me a chance to work with a brilliant team and super star Sanjay Dutt," he added.

"Bhoomi" marks Sanjay's comeback after he was released from the Yerwada Central Jail in Pune in 2016. It is an emotional and sensitive revenge drama that explores the relationship between a father and daughter. It also stars Shekhar Kapur and Aditi Rao Hydari, and will release on September 22.
