Talking about playing a real-life character for the first time, Huma said that it holds a special place in her career. “Embarking on my first biopic was a thrilling journey that holds a special place in my career. Just like the powerful performances in films like ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘Mary Kom’ left a lasting impact on me, I was invested in immersing myself in the life of this extraordinary individual, exploring her triumphs and tribulations, and bringing forth a portrayal that will resonate deeply with the audience,” she said in a statement.
She further explained the arch of her character, “Tarla is feisty but in a restrained sort of way. Her arc is very different from the other female protagonists we have seen in biopics. She makes her way into people’s hearts. As an actor, I am driven by the desire to unravel the complexities of human experiences and breathe life into characters that inspire, challenge, and ignite conversations. How a regular homemaker became an extraordinary entrepreneur is what Tarla is about."
