Ever since her banging debut in 2012 movie 'Gangs of Wasseypur', Huma Qureshi has made quite a mark in Bollywood. Making her Malayalam debut this year across superstar Mammooty in 'White', Huma said she wants to be more active in the South film industry.

"This movie just fell into my lap. It's a beautiful love story and I haven't done one in a while. My character Roshni, is full of life and is instrumental in bringing a change in the life of this man who is older than her. They share a beautiful relationship that transforms both of them," Huma said. When asked why she chose a South film, she said, "South films have a lot more intricate plots and layered characters and that's why Bollywood ends up remaking many of their films. Sometimes we even water them down to lessen the complexity."

Talking about her experience working with Mammukka, she said, "The best lesson I learnt is that a great actor is as good a co-actor. I was really nervous and didn't know what to expect from this film. I didn't know how to conduct myself on the sets of a South Indian movie because I had no reference, no audience and he's a really big star. I felt like I was going to work with Mr Bachchan in Hindi. I was really nervous, but have to admit he was a wonderful co-star."
