Baby Do Die Do Trailer: Huma Qureshi Turns Deadly Hitwoman
Baby Do Die Do trailer is out, showing Huma Qureshi as a deaf, mute desi hitwoman, with rumoured boyfriend Rachit Singh in the cast ahead of its July 3 clash with Alpha.
A woman in a plain salwar, holding nothing but an umbrella, walks through a crowd — and one bullet later, someone is dead. That is the image driving conversation today, as the Baby Do Die Do trailer finally answers months of teaser-fuelled curiosity about Huma Qureshi’s most unusual role yet.
What Is the Baby Do Die Do Trailer About?
The Baby Do Die Do trailer, released on Monday, opens up a dark, twisty world of secrets, betrayal and revenge built around Huma Qureshi’s character, a contract killer hiding in plain sight. The footage moves between sniper-style hits, close-quarter combat and oddly comic moments, signalling a thriller that does not take itself too seriously even while the body count climbs.
Director Nachiket Samant, known earlier for Single Salma, has built the film around a simple but striking idea: a killer who survives by being underestimated.
Who Is Huma Qureshi’s Character, Baby Karmarkar?
At the centre of the Baby Do Die Do trailer is Baby Karmarkar, a character billed as India’s first “desi hitwoman.” She is deaf and mute, which means Huma carries entire scenes on expression and physicality alone, without a single line of dialogue.
Huma has spoken about how demanding that was to perform. “Baby challenged me in ways I didn’t expect,” she said, describing how every emotion had to come from within rather than through words. The director echoed that idea, noting that Baby doesn’t speak, yet remains one of the most expressive characters in the film.
Rachit Singh’s Role — and His Real Connection to Huma Qureshi
Among the new faces in the Baby Do Die Do trailer is Rachit Singh, who plays a character named Siddhu, a Sikh man whose path crosses with Baby’s in ways that reportedly complicate both their lives. Singh, a Varanasi-born acting coach who has trained stars including Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal before stepping in front of the camera himself, makes this one of his early on-screen roles.
The casting has added extra interest off-screen too. Singh is widely reported to be Huma Qureshi’s boyfriend, with dating speculation building for months after the two were spotted together at events including Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s wedding. Neither has issued a formal confirmation, though a recent appreciation post from Huma on Instagram was widely read online as a quiet acknowledgement of the relationship.
The Cast and Crew Behind Baby Do Die Do
Alongside Huma Qureshi and Rachit Singh, the Baby Do Die Do trailer features Sikandar Kher in a role with what the makers describe as several hidden layers, plus Chunky Pandey in a sharp departure from his usual comic roles, Seema Pahwa, Vidya Malavade, Himanshu Malik, Marudhar Shekhawat and Arun Kushwah.
The film marks the first production from Saleem Siblings, the banner launched by Huma Qureshi and her brother, actor-producer Saqib Saleem, made in association with Pune 04 Picture. Saleem has called the film original and emotional, adding that it keeps the audience guessing until the very end.
Baby Do Die Do vs Alpha: A Box-Office Clash on July 3
The Baby Do Die Do release date, July 3, puts it on a direct collision course with Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s espionage thriller Alpha, which opens the same day. That has turned the release into an unusual two-woman box-office face-off, with one camp backing the big-budget spy story and another rooting for the lower-key, deaf-mute assassin drama.
Online reactions are already split. Some viewers are tired of yet another underworld revenge plot; others say the deaf-mute hitwoman angle, paired with Huma Qureshi’s track record of picking unconventional roles, gives the film a real shot at standing out.
What Happens Next
With the Baby Do Die Do trailer now out, the makers are expected to roll out songs, character posters and promotional interviews through the rest of June, building up to the July 3 release. Whether Rachit Singh’s character is friend, lover or complication for Baby remains deliberately unclear, and the makers have said the bigger reveals are being saved for the film itself.
