Huma Qureshi's Cannes 2026 Return: Indian Cinema's Global Star

Huma Qureshi is poised for her return to the Cannes Film Festival in 2026, continuing to build her international presence. This appearance underscores her career of balancing mainstream success with critically acclaimed performances in projects like 'Maharani' and 'Monica O My Darling', and her role in Zack Snyder's 'Army of the Dead'.

Last year, in 2025, Qureshi's film 'Bayaan' was the sole Indian entry in the Discovery section at the Toronto International Film Festival, also screening at the Busan International Film Festival. This global festival circuit success highlights her impact on international platforms.

Looking ahead, Qureshi has several acting projects, including 'Toxic' and 'Pooja Meri Jaan'. Additionally, she has ventured into film production with her brother, Saqib Saleem, under their banner Saleem Siblings. Their first production, 'Baby Do Die Do', is anticipated to reveal a new facet of her artistry.
