Huma Qureshi is going places (literally). The reason we brought this up today is because the 32-year-old actress is all set to star in Zack Snyder's upcoming zombie drama, titled Army Of The Dead. On Wednesday night, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the news of Huma's association with the international project and he tweeted: "Confirmed - Huma Qureshi named the Asian lead in Zack Snyder's upcoming zombie drama Army Of The Dead. The cast is headed by Dave Bautista along with several international names." Soon after the reports of Huma Qureshi's association with the Hollywood film surfaced on social media, the actress occupied a spot on Twitter's list of trends.
Take a look at Taran Adarsh's post here:
Army Of The Dead will be Zack Snyder's first film after the 2017 film Justice League. The film will showcase the story of a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas.
