Huma Qureshi on promoting Army of the Dead during pandemic: I felt very strange

By: Mohnish Singh

Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi can be currently seen in Zack Snyder’s American zombie heist film Army of the Dead (2021), which marks her foray in Hollywood. While actors go all out to promote their upcoming films, things are not the same during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.


Talking to an online publication, Qureshi shares that she felt uncomfortable about promoting her film amid the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic in India, despite the fact that she was looking forward to its release for close to a year and a half.

“To do Army of the Dead was a good thing for me, something that I was looking forward to for almost a year and a half. So, you imagine yourself having fun promoting the film, and being on top of the world,” says the actress.

Qureshi goes on to add, “But the phase we were going through – things have slightly improved now, but a month ago, the situation was quite bad – I felt very strange to put that out. And I knew I had to do it, and at a personal level, I was very excited. But at the same time, I knew that people were going through such pain and suffering around me.”

Also starring Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Theo Rossi, Nora Arnezeder, and Raúl Castillo, Army of the Dead released on Netflix on May 21 and has been trending on the streaming service ever since.

Qureshi will next be seen in Maharani. The trailer of the upcoming streaming show has received a warm response from the audience and now everyone is looking forward to its premiere.

Created and written by filmmaker Subhash Kapoor, Maharani is set to premiere on May 28, 2021, on SonyLIV.

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.
