Huma Qureshi discussed three career updates at a meet and greet event in Mohali on Saturday: the audience response to her new film Baby Do Die Do, her excitement over Toxic’s release next month, and a Maharani Season 5 shoot starting next month.On Baby Do Die Do, in which she plays Baby Karmarkar, a deaf and mute character, Qureshi said the role tested her differently than any other. “It was challenging to play a deaf and mute character. Without speaking a single word, I had to convey a range of emotions. I think as an actor, I am known for my dialogue delivery. But if I don’t get to say a word in a two-hour film and I am not able to hear my co-stars, how do I create that drama? I think it is a very different film,” she said.She credited audiences for the film’s response, singling out Punjab. “Audiences’ reaction to the film is very special. I am so grateful to all the audiences, especially Punjab. They love the film,” she said. Asked which cinema hall she visited to watch it since leaving Mumbai, she said, “All of them.” She also had a message for Mohali. “I am asking you to adopt me so that I can shift here,” she said.Qureshi credited her brother, Saqib Saleem, who produced the film. “My producer is also my brother. Saqib worked very hard. It took us four years to complete the film,” she said.Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups releases on August 26 after a string of earlier delays. Asked if she was excited for the release, Qureshi nodded, then responded. “I am very excited. This month, Baby Do Die Do. Next month, Toxic. Fingers crossed, Inshallah. Keep giving me love.”Directed by Geetu Mohandas and headlined by Yash in a dual role, Toxic is one of Indian cinema’s most expensive productions, with Qureshi playing a key negative role named Elizabeth.She also confirmed the next season of her web series starts filming soon. “We are going to start shooting for Maharani Season 5 next month,” she said. Season 4 had left her character, Rani Bharti, transformed from a political heavyweight into a mother out for revenge after her son’s murder, a cliffhanger that has kept fans anticipating the next chapter.
