Huma Qureshi talks about her passion for cinema, both in India and abroad; says, “Whether it’s in India or in the film industry in the US, I want to be part of cinema”

Huma Qureshi, known for her role in Army of the Dead, is being cautious in picking her next venture. She recognizes that Indian representation is on the rise, particularly at the Oscars, and is eager for high-quality films, series, and roles, both in India and overseas.

Huma told Hindustan Times, “Army of the Dead was released in 2021, and in the same year the first season of Maharani was also streamed. Last year I had a packed year with Mithya, Maharani season 2, Valimai, Double XL and Monica, O My Darling. Honestly, I haven’t had the mind space to think about chasing after a project because I haven’t had a breather.”

She further added, “Whether it’s in India or in the film industry in the US, I want to be part of cinema. I have always been choosy about the work that I do and it’s no different when it comes to saying yes to the work that comes my way from the west. When it comes to the work announcement from the West, you will have to wait and watch.”

Huma Qureshi also spoke about how proud she is of Indian cinema winning Oscars in two different genres - RRR for Best Original Song and The Elephant Whisperers for Best Documentary Short Film. “Indian cinema has captured the imagination of the west for a long time now. But what’s applause worthy and should be celebrated is the fact that a Telugu film (RRR) which celebrates the true spirit of commercial Indian cinema has won the Oscar for Best Original Song and other important recognitions in the US this year. That’s not all, The Elephant Whisperers hit it out of the park by winning the Best Documentary Short Film Oscar. As an Indian and as a member of the Indian film fraternity, I felt proud because we had been recognised in two completely different genres.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Huma was last seen in Monica, O My Darling, the actor played the titular role in the film and shared screen space with Rajkummar Rao, Sikander Kher, Radhika Apte and others in the film. She will be next seen in Pooja Meri Jaan opposite Mrunal Thakur. Huma also has biopic of India's most celebrated chefs, Tarla Dalal, titled Tarla.
