Huma Qureshi wraps up shoot of TarlaDalal biopic in 37 days

Huma Qureshi will soon be seen essaying the role of India’s first-ever home chef Tarla Dalal. The actress had been shooting for 37 continuous days in Mumbai and has finally wrapped up the film. The last day of filming was a wedding sequence and Huma put her soul into the act. Even before the film went on the floors, the actress would wear dentures for long hours and practice speaking with them.

As part of her preparations, Huma also saw hours of footage, picking up on Dalal’s accent, pitch and mannerisms. Says Huma, “Every character you play as an actor leaves an impression on your soul and Tarla Dalal’s journey has definitely left an impression on my soul. It truly holds a special place in my heart. As I wrap the film, I cannot help but think of the quiet strength, love, humour and empathy she had.”

Apart from the Tarla Dalal biopic, Huma will be seen in Double XL, Monica O My Darling and Maharani Season 2.
