On the occasion of Huma Qureshi’s birthday, her brother Saqib Saleem surprised fans by unveiling the teaser of their upcoming film Baby Do Die Do. This movie is the first project produced under their new banner, Saleem Siblings. The film stars Huma Qureshi, Chunky Panday, and Sikandar Kher in prominent roles. Along with the teaser release, Saqib wrote a touching birthday message for Huma, applauding her performance and expressing admiration for her talent.
Meet Baby Karmarkar – India’s First Desi Female Assassin
The teaser introduces Huma Qureshi as Baby Karmarkar, who is described as the first Indian female assassin on screen. It opens with a dramatic scene where her character stands in a dimly lit parking area. Two men are seen talking tensely about Baby’s sudden disappearance. Moments later, Huma appears, holding a rifle with intense focus, building up her dangerous image.
One scene on a train adds a clever twist when someone refers to her as a “female hitman”, another voice corrects it to “female hitwoman”, hinting at her killer instincts and fierce role.
Saqib’s Emotional Note for Huma
Saqib Saleem shared the teaser with a heartfelt caption that read: “Huma, It’s your birthday today…and somehow the universe decided this is the day the whole world finally sees the Baby Do Die Do Teaser (Yes yes, we dropped a sneaky link before… but not everybody was lucky enough to get it). This time, it’s out there. Big screen. Big scale. Big risk. And you’re right at the center of it owning every frame. I’ve seen you live this role. Through the madness, the silence, the chaos you didn’t just act in this film…you became it. As a producer, I know what it took to pull this off. But as your brother…I’m just standing here in awe. Happy Birthday, Huma. You’ve never needed noise to make an impact. And today the whole world’s watching. Proud of you. Always. Love, Saqib.”
A Genre-Bending Dark Comedy
Baby Do Die Do is described as a neo-noir dark comedy with elements of satire and emotional conflict. Huma’s character is crafted to be both relatable and exaggerated, walking a fine line between absurdity and reality. The film seems to be another example of Huma’s ability to take on unconventional, layered characters and deliver memorable performances.
