Huma Qureshi’s Movies and Career

Huma Qureshi's Television Advertisements

In 2008 she relocated to Mumbai to attend an audition for the never-produced film Junction. I had no plans to move to Mumbai or become an actress. But when my friend contacted me to schedule an audition for the film Junction I started to have second thoughts. Sadly the movie was never made . 

She sponsored a variety of goods including Vita Marie Saffola Oil Me derma cream Pears soap Samsung Mobile (with Aamir Khan) Nerolac (with Shah Rukh Khan) and Vita Marie. During filming for a Samsung Mobile commercial director Anurag Kashyap was delighted with her acting talent and promised to utilize her in a movie. Qureshi remembered: At the time I didn't believe him. Nevertheless Kashyap fulfilled his word and signed her to a three-film contract with his production business Anurag Kashyap Films.

After beating out 700 other applicants in an audition Qureshi was initially slated to make her acting debut in Chakri Toleti's Tamil mafia movie Billa II. Despite being chosen to play the female lead Qureshi departed the movie when it was delayed to keep her other job obligations. When asked if she regretted anything she replied: I don't feel guilty. I regret that it didn't turn out how I had hoped. I don't like to sit around and whine about stuff. Several other south films also approached me but the roles weren't what I was seeking .

Huma Qureshi’s First Movie: Gangs of Wasseypur

Her supporting role in Anurag Kashyap's critically acclaimed two-part crime drama marked her feature film debut. She played the devoted wife of a criminal (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui) in the movie. She defined her persona as a small-town narcissist who believes she is the village's most attractive girl. 

The Tamil movie Subramaniapuram served as inspiration for this one. No Indian theatre would show a five-hour movie therefore it was split into two parts even though both sections were shot as one film totaling 319 minutes. On June 22 2012 the movie was released in theatres but due to its violent content Kuwait and Qatar banned it. When Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 1 was first released it was well-received by critics and won several prizes. At the 55th Asia-Pacific Film Festival it was nominated for Best Film and Best Director for Kashyap while at the 60th National Film Awards it won Best Autography. It is a combined gross of 50.81 crores which while not an individual financial triumph enabled a moderate commercial return because of its certificate.

She resumed her role as Mohsina in the sequel after the first film's popularity. Even though the Indian Censor Board has given the movie an Adults Only rating it is extremely graphic by Indian film standards since it contains profanity and violent scenes that aren't frequently seen in mainstream films. 

Traditional Indian folk songs from the soundtrack are widely included; many of them are philosophical and liberal with overt sexual innuendo. On August 7 2012 Part 2 had a few paid screenings and on August 8 it had its formal release in India. The follow-up to the first Gangs of Wasseypur book. At the 58th Filmfare Awards the movie took up four accolades including Best Film and Best Actress.
