Actress
Huma
Qureshi,
who
will
soon
be
seen
in
dark,
intense
and
revenge
drama
Badlapur,
says
it's
a
special
film
for
her
as
she
got
a
chance
to
work
with
her
favorite
director
Sriram
Raghavan,
who
made
sure
she
was
out
of
her
comfort
zone.
At
the
launch
of
a
magazine's
cover
on
Monday,
Huma
opened
up
about
her
role
in
the
movie,
which
also
stars
Varun
Dhawan.
"In
'
Badlapur',
my
character's
name
is
Jhumli.
It's
a
special
film
for
me
because
I
got
a
chance
to
work
with
my
favorite
director,
Sriram
Raghavan.
I'm
a
huge
fan
of
him.
And
from
the
time
I
saw
his
films,
'
Ek
Hasina
Thi'
,
'
Johnny
Gaddaar',
I
really
wanted
to
work
with
him," she
said.
Huma,
who
has
earlier
been
appreciated
for
her
work
in
films
like
Gangs
of
Wasseypur,
Luv
Shuv
Tey
Chicken
Khurana,
Ek
Thi
Daayan,
D-Day
and
Dedh
Ishqiya,
believes
the
role
in
Badlapur
has
challenged
her
in
a
different
way.
"About
my
character,
I
would
only
say
that
Sriram
(director)
really
put
me
outside
my
comfort
zone.
I
think
Jhumli
is
a
character
that
I
possibly
did
just
because
of
him.
I
don't
think
I
would
have
put
myself
through
playing
such
a
difficult
character," she
said.
The
actress
even
recollected
one
day
during
the
shoot
when
she
"literally
broke
down".
She
hopes
audiences
"really
enjoy
how
much
hard
work
we
have
pulled
together
in
the
film".
Badlapur,
which
also
stars
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
and
Divya
Dutta
in
key
roles,
is
set
to
release
on
February
20.
