Maharani Season 5 Commences Filming with Rani Bharti at the Helm
Over the course of its previous four seasons, Maharani has grown into one of the most successful original political drama franchises on the Indian OTT space.

Across successive installments, the character undergoes a dramatic transformation, mastering political maneuverings, confronting corruption, and fighting for survival against formidable adversaries. Production for the fifth season is currently underway, and the series will premiere exclusively on the streaming platform Sony LIV.
Reflecting on Baby Do Die Do and Portraying a Silent Assassin
In addition to her web series announcement, Huma Qureshi has been a prominent topic of discussion following the recent release of her film Baby Do Die Do earlier this month. In the crime thriller, Qureshi took on the challenging role of Baby Karmarkar, a deaf and mute contract killer. Although the movie experienced a modest commercial outcome at the theatrical box office, Qureshi garnered substantial praise from film critics for her expressive performance, relying entirely on body language and intense screen presence to portray the silent assassin.
Recognition from Geetu Mohandas and Upcoming Action Film Toxic
Qureshi's dedication in Baby Do Die Do earned appreciation within the film industry, notably from director Geetu Mohandas. The filmmaker posted a heartfelt review commending the performances of both Huma Qureshi and her brother Saqib Saleem in the project, an acknowledgment that left Qureshi emotionally touched. Expanding her cinematic portfolio, Qureshi will next appear in Geetu Mohandas's grand-scale film Toxic. The upcoming project stars Kannada actor Yash in the central role, featuring an ensemble cast that includes Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, and Nayanthara.
