Huma’s killing it
Huma Qureshi, known for often challenging the conventional portrayal of Hindi film heroine through projects such as ‘Maharani’ and ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ (2012), ‘Kaala’ (2018) hopes that her new film ‘Baby Do Die Do’, a thriller about a deaf and mute assassin, leads to more such interesting roles being written for women. The actor, who has also produced the movie, said the beauty of playing a character like Baby is that she is not outlined and easily mixes into the crowd, say a Mumbai local. “The fact that she is so normal and regular looking and yet such a lethal killer is what makes it such an interesting tale. We just wanted to make a very relatable character. Baby is somebody you just meet in a Mumbai local and not bat an eyelid,” the actor told PTI in an interview.
