NEW DELHI:
Actor Huma Qureshi, who will be seen sharing screen space with her brother and actor Saqib Saleem in Dobaara, says good content helps in reaching out to a wider audience.
Dobaara is the Hindi remake of Hollywood supernatural psychological horror film Oculus.
The Gangs of Wasseypur star believes remakes will always continue to intrigue audiences. “I think as long as [they are watched], whether it is a Hollywood film into a Hindi film or a southern film into whatever ... they [remakes] always happen,” Huma said. However, the 29-year-old actor stressed that the mainstay reaching out to a wider audience is good content.
Released in 2013, Oculus is the story of a brother and sister battling paranormal activity. Saqib and Huma will be portraying the characters played by Karen Gillan and Brenton Thwaites in the film. Dobaara is slated to release this year in September.
