Don’t Follow Me, I’m Lost: Huma Qureshi on the Silent Assassin She Produced for BABY DO DIE DO

Huma Qureshi is proud of this one. As Netflix opens Baby Do Die Do on September 23, the actress sits with Paul Salfen and calls the film a special baby—the first from Saleem Siblings, the company she co-founded with her brother Saqib Saleem. She stars as a deaf-and-mute assassin who hides a gun in a red umbrella and kills for a living on the streets of Mumbai. In the conversation she talks about pinching herself every day that she gets paid for this life, the privilege and responsibility of ten million Instagram eyes, why she tells aspiring artists not to follow her, the humility of producing, and the universal language of cinema that lets a Mumbai hitwoman travel anywhere. From Delhi theaters to a first-generation producer’s desk, Qureshi is still a little lost—and still going for it.
