On her career front, Huma was recently featured in Rajkummar Rao’s “Maalik.”
Maharani is a political drama series crafted for streaming audiences by Subhash Kapoor. So far, three seasons have been released, with Huma in the titular role.
The inaugural season was directed by Karan Sharma, followed by Ravindra Gautam for the second, and Saurabh Bhave for the third. The series features Huma Qureshi alongside Sohum Shah, Amit Sial, Kani Kusruti, and Inaamulhaq.
This multi-season political drama draws partial inspiration from real events in Bihar during the 1990s, particularly the rise of Lalu Prasad Yadav's homemaker spouse, Rabri Devi, as his successor.
The narrative of season one spans from 1995 to 1999 and is influenced by real-life events and figures, including Ranvir Sena, left-wing extremists, Naxalite factions, and the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation, as well as the tragic 1997 Laxmanpur Bathe massacre and the Fodder Scam.
Season two picks up in mid-1999, inspired by true events and personalities like the Shilpi-Gautam murder case, Sadhu Yadav, and the 2000 Bihar Legislative Assembly election.
The third season delves into various real-life occurrences, including the Jitan Manjhi episode.
Regarding her career, Huma kicked off her film journey with a supporting role in the two-part 2012 crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur.
Her career blossomed with significant roles in films such as the horror flick Ek Thi Daayan, the dark comedy Dedh Ishqiya, the revenge thriller Badlapur, the Marathi road drama Highway, the comedy Jolly LLB 2, and the Tamil action film Kaala.
She gained acclaim for her performance in the 2019 dystopian series Leila and her portrayal in the crime drama series Maharani since 2021. Additionally, she appeared in the American film Army of the Dead.
