Solo leads not important to me: Huma Qureshi

"It is not important that I do a solo heroine film, for me what matters is that I should do something that audience remember me for and connect with me," Huma told PTI.

"Even if I am there in a film for a little time, it is great as far as my role is good. What is the use if I do a big film where I am the only heroine but people don't care?"

In 'Gangs of Wasseypur', Huma shared screen space with Manoj Bajpai, Richa Chadda, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and others.

She would also star in Vishal Bhardwaj's supernatural psychological thriller 'Ek Thi Daayan' alongwith Emraan Hashmi, Konkona Sen Sharma and Kalki Koechlin.

"I am not related to someone in the film industry, it will take time to prove (myself). To do a film with an ensemble cast may be safer from an outsider's point of view. I am choosing the best of what is offered to me. It is coincidental that I am doing these films," Huma said.

After the two-part 'Gangs of Wasseypur', Huma's next release will be 'Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana' in November.

Produced by Kashyap and also starring Kunal Kapoor, Huma plays a Punjabi girl in the film directed by Sameer Sharma. It will release on November 2.

"I play a Pujabi girl in the film, it is not a stereotypical role. We have tried to do something different. The character is very real, I am sure the girls from Punjab will relate to it," Huma said. (MORE)
