Actor Saqib Saleem, who is currently busy shooting for the Hindi remake of Hollywood movie "Oculus" titled "Dobaara", says he and his actress-sister Huma Qureshi bonded really well on the film's sets.
Saqib also mentioned that he thought that he and Huma wouldn't gel on the set.
"It was a very nice equation we shared. I will be honest I thought we won't gel on the set because we are two different kind of people, but I think we somehow managed," Saqib told IANS.
"We both wanted the film to become better, that was our endeavour, and I think both of us gelled on the set. I was surprised. I had actually thought that we won't gel at all! But we bonded really well," the actor said.
The 28-year-old credits his sibling relationship with Huma that helped them bond and work together.
"I think it is because we know each other since before we started shooting. We are siblings. We stay together. We know everything about each other. So I think that just helped in," said the "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" star.
Released in 2013, "Oculus" is the story of a brother and sister battling paranormal activity. Saqib and Huma will be portraying the characters played by Karen Gillan and Brenton Thwaites in the film.
"Dobaara" is slated to release this year in September.
