Utkarsh Ambudkar has been cast as King Bumi of Omashu in the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series!

Filming of Season 1 has already wrapped and he has already finished filming his scenes for Season 1.

Utkarsh Ambudkar is best known for his roles in the Pitch Perfect series, The Mindy Project, the 2021 movie Free Guy, and Never Have I Ever (Netflix), Ghosts (CBS), and The Dropout (Hulu).

King Bumi is the same chronological age as Aang: 112 years old! So obviously, Utkarsh will be aged up for the physically demanding role, as Bumi has the spry physique and fighting skills of a much younger man. Can’t wait to see the transformation!

Fun fact: the etymology of the name Bumi is the ancient Sanskrit word “bhumi”, meaning earth!
