I was in two minds about doing 'Badlapur': Huma Qureshi

New Delhi: Huma Qureshi started her Bollywood journey by starring in edgy, unconventional films but even she had doubts about signing Sriram Raghavan's 'Badlapur' as the actress felt it was "too dark" and "hard-hitting".

"The only reason I said yes was because of the team and how everybody believed in it. I was the third actor to join the movie and I was really scared. We had a big discussion about should I, shouldn't I or will it be too much or too dark. I have been a part of edgy films earlier but 'Badlapur' was quite hard-hitting," Huma told reporters in an interview.

Huma, 28, is one of the four actresses in the Varun Dhawan-Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer revenge drama. Though her presence is limited to 5-6 scenes in the movie, Huma has earned a lot of praise for her performance.
