New Delhi, April 1 (ANI): Huma Qureshi, who will soon be seen in a Malayalam flick alongside actor Mammootty, claims that language should not be a barrier for an actor.

Talking about her shooting experience for the flick, the 29-year-old actress told ANI, "It was very difficult. Malayalam is a very difficult language. Although I had great fun shooting for that film because it is a huge opportunity to work with superstar Mammootty. I did learn a lot from him, but it is a very difficult language to learn.

"I had all the help in the world, I had lovely director, I had assistance on sets, I had a translator all the time so they made the whole experience very enjoyable for me," she said during Femina's Style Diva.

Further, when asked if she will go more regional now, the 'Badlapur' star showed thumbs up, claiming that she lures for content.

Huma said, "I think good cinema doesn't have any barrier and I don't think language should be a barrier for an actor. I don't chase money or glamour and I don't want to do film just because I need to look good next to a big hero. I do films for content so where ever the content takes me.
