The acclaimed Indian series “Delhi Crime” is set to return for its third season, featuring the talented Huma Qureshi as the ultimate villain. This exciting announcement comes as the show is currently in post-production and has already garnered recognition, including the International Emmy Award for best drama series in 2020. With Qureshi stepping into the role of the primary antagonist, the stakes are higher than ever as she faces off against Shefali Shah’s beloved character, DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, affectionately known as “Madam Sir.”
Qureshi expressed her enthusiasm for the role, stating, “I was delighted and honored when the makers approached me to play the antagonist for the third season of this internationally acclaimed show. I hope we continue to entertain the audience with the show’s third installment.” This marks a significant moment for both Qureshi and the series, as her character is expected to bring a new level of intensity and complexity to the narrative.
The upcoming season will also see the return of key cast members, including Shah, Rasika Dugal as ACP Neeti Singh, and Rajesh Tailang as Bhupendra. Tanuj Chopra returns as director and showrunner, promising to uphold the high standards set by previous seasons. “Delhi Crime” has been praised for its authentic portrayal of real-life criminal cases, set against the backdrop of Delhi, India’s bustling capital.
Huma Qureshi, who first gained recognition through her role in Anurag Kashyap’s cult classic “Gangs of Wasseypur,” has built a diverse and impressive career. Following her recent Filmfare Award win for the series “Maharani 3,” she has continued to explore a range of roles, including performances in “Monica O, My Darling” and “Tarla.” With her streaming debut in Netflix’s dystopian series “Leila,” she has become a prominent figure in the digital entertainment space.
