Before she became one of Hindi cinema’s most versatile performers, Huma Qureshi was set to make her Tamil debut opposite Tamil superstar Ajith in Billa 2. The actor, in a candid chat on mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, revealed that she had been finalized for the film, had completed her look test, and had even travelled to the set, only to be suddenly replaced without explanation. She recalled how Ajith reacted when they met 10 years later on the sets of the film Valimai.
Huma on getting replaced in Billa 2
“I was cast for Billa 2, and actually, very few people know this,” Huma began. “It was like a Don 2 situation with Billa being Don, and Billa 2 being its sequel with Ajith sir. I did the whole look test, signed the contract, and even flew down to shoot for a day. And then, for some reason, I got replaced. I don’t know what happened,” she recalled.
