Huma Qureshi and Madhuri Dixit in a still from Dedh Ishqiya
Mumbai:
Actress Huma Qureshi says Dedh Ishqiya is different from the original Ishqiya and is confident that the viewers will enjoy the comedy-thriller.
Abhishek Chaubey directed film stars Madhuri Dixit, Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi in the lead roles.
"This film has nothing to do with Ishqiya, it's altogether a different story. My character is very interesting. Ishqiya was intense, Dedh Ishqiya is fun and I am sure everyone will enjoy it," said Huma.
The actress, who is sharing screen space with renowned actors like Naseeruddin Shah and Madhuri Dixit so early in her career, considers herself lucky.
"I am very fortunate to work with such good actors. I think I have worked with some of the best actors of our time," said the actress who teamed up with Manoj Bajpayee in Gangs of Wasseypur.
Chaubey had presented Vidya Balan in a very bold form in Ishqiya. In the black comedy, Vidya played the clever and sensuous Krishna, who uses two petty criminals Iftikhar (Naseer) and Babban (Arshad) to take revenge on her husband.
When asked why he didn't cast her in the sequel, the director said: "We couldn't take her character ahead as we had nothing to offer. So, we thought we could take the story of the two men ahead and how they fall in love with someone else."
