CHENNAI: Hollywood filmmaker Zack Snyder has heaped praise on Indian actor Huma Qureshi. He worked with her in Army Of The Dead. Snyder took to social media, where he shared a picture of Huma, who played Geeta Ranjan in the 2021 post-apocalyptic zombie heist film.
He wrote, “One of the most amazing actors I’ve had the pleasure of working with on Army of the Dead. Talent, presence, and pure brilliance on screen.”
Army of the Dead is based on a story Snyder created. The film features an ensemble cast including Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana de la Reguera, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighofer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tig Notaro, Raúl Castillo, Huma Qureshi, and Garret Dillahunt.
