Leila poster: Huma Qureshi calls for peace blindfolded

Web space in India is blooming and the streaming giants are leaving no stone unturned to make it big. In the line next is Huma Qureshi-starrer Leila which is set to release on June 14. Set to release on Netflix, the series has already intrigued the audience with its unique plot. Today (May 13), the makers shared a new poster for the show and we must say that the curiosity level is just getting higher.

Co-directed by Deepa Mehta, Shanker Raman and Pawan Kumar, the series is based on a book by Prayaag Akbar. Set in a dystopian future in a  city that thrives on purity and the citizens are so prude about it that they live in a discriminated set-up based on the caste, religion and class. The story traces a mother and her journey to find her daughter, longing, loss and faith being the underlined thought. The new poster that was released today features a blindfolded Huma looking full of intrigue, while she makes the peace symbol with her fingers. The poster says ‘Commit to the cause’.

In the hands of a director like Deepa Mehta, who also directed the Shabana Azmi Nandita Das-starrer Fire, we are expecting story-telling at its best. The show also stars Siddharth, Rahul Khanna, Sanjay Suri and Arif Zakaria. For more updates and Bollywood news, stay tuned to CineBlitz.
