Huma, Read how?
A
ctress Huma Qureshi, who made her acting debut with critically acclaimed crime drama `Gangs
of Wasseypur`, is now gearing up for her Marathi
debut "Highway", and believes that language is no
barrier in cinema."As an actor, cinema doesn't have
language. I am from north, I have no connection with
Marathi cinema, but I really liked the story. And if my
presence benefits the cinema in anyways, so I thought
why not," the actress said at the trailer and music launch
of "Highway" here.Speaking about the film at the launch,
Huma said: "Umesh Kulkarni makes Marathi films but
level of his films is international and after watching some
of his films, I thought I wanted to be part of 'Highway'."
The "Dedh Ishqiya" actress also said that good cinema
should be promoted "equally" irrespective of the language. "I just know one thing that I want to be associated with good cinema. And I think when it comes to good
cinema, whether its vernacular, we should promote it
equally," she said. "Highway" stars Huma in a small yet
significant role along with actress Tisca Chopra. Known
for experimenting with her roles across genres, Huma
is also doing another project with her brother Saqib Saleem, in a remake of an English movie."I am working on
this film 'Oculus'. In fact, me and my brother are going
to start shooting very soon in London. I am very excited
about it," added Huma.
