Actress Huma Qureshi says Bollywood is “quite heady” and it is very difficult to brace up for the journey in the industry.

“I was prepared in my own way (about the constant public scrutiny). But the industry is quite heady. You can’t really prepare for it,” Huma told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

After doing some short films, Huma, who hails from Delhi, came into the spotlight with Anurag Kashyap’s dark thriller “Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 2” in 2012.

She has delivered hits like “Ek Thi Daayan”, “Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana”, “Badlapur” and “Jolly LLB 2”, but failed to generate the expected response with films like “Dedh Ishqiya” and “D-Day”.

The actress, who was last seen in horror film “Dobaara: See Your Evil”, says she tries to focus on her work and “do the best to my ability”.

On the career front, Huma believes in taking “things as they come”. She is also harbouring Hollywood dreams.

Asked if she wants to head to the West, she said: “Hopefully.”

“(I’m waiting for the) right film and right script to come along,” said the actress, who auditioned for the third instalment of “The Mummy” franchise last year.

Actress Huma Qureshi, who will be seen in upcoming horror film “Dobaara: See Your Evil” along with her brother Saqib Saleem, says that the horror genre has not been explored properly and hopes this “high-concept, low-budget” film will be an exciting watch.“I think this is the high time in Indian cinema where collaboration with international market is important as we have audience across the globe.

Our film ‘Dobara’ is a high-concept, low-budget horror film where we attempted to make a good family entertainer film,” she told the media at the launch of a song from it. Saqib and Rhea Chakraborty who are playing crucial parts in the story were also present. Huma said that the film is an official adaption of American “Oculus”, but they had “changed main characters of the story a little, to Indianise the story for a better audience connect”.

Asked about among two siblings, if anyone of them was scared of watching horror films in childhood, Huma said: “Well my grandfather used to tell us a lot of horror stories so I have a fond memory of that, when it comes to watching horror films on TV, oh yes, someone used to get scared a lot (indicating her brother).”Saqib said: “Nobody is born a ‘Baahubali’ so yes, I was scared and its ok”

Sharing a childhood memory, he added: “I remember how I used to watch a horror television show wrapping myself in a blanket that had a hole, and I used to watch the show through that hole. But now I am so brave that I am a part of a horror film.”Directed by Prawaal Raman, the film also features Lisa Ray, Adil Hussain among others and is slated to release on June 2.
