The film’s director Geetu Mohandas spoke to Variety about casting Huma Qureshi and said, “Casting for this role was perhaps the trickiest. The character demanded a performer with high octane caliber and an undeniable presence. From the moment Huma entered my frame, I witnessed that she possessed something rare. She carried an effortless sophistication and intensity that immediately brought the character of Elizabeth alive for me.”

She added, “Huma is an actor who questions, probes, and challenges the artistic interpretation of a role and that dialogue became an essential part of our creative journey. She has always been known as a powerhouse of talent, but this performance will mark as a turning point for the arrival of an undeniable, commanding new presence on celluloid.”

Narayana, the period ganster drama will release in theatres on March 19, 2026, clashing at the theatres with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2.
