Never thought we d do a film together: Saqib on working with Huma

New Delhi May 11 (IANS) Actor Saqib Saleem who will soon be seen in the upcoming film Dobaara - See Your Evil along with actress and sister Huma Qureshi says he never thought he would ever do a film with her.

It s like family. First we never thought we would do a film together but it happened... Then we started shooting together. After that it was a lot of fun Saqib told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

The 29-year-old actor says Huma brought a lot to the table as an actor.

I think we brought different energies. As actors we have different energies and that kind of helped while shooting the film he added.

Saqib tries maintaining a balance between professional and personal relationship while working on the sets.

It is because of the fact that you are family and work together sometimes the lines tend to get blurred but then you enjoy that also. Sometimes I speak to Huma as an actor and sometimes as a brother he said.

Saqib found the balance very interesting.

It made us understand each other as actors more. We got to know each other s process of working. For that I think this film was a great exercise and we had great fun shooting he said.

Directed by Prawaal Raman Dobaara - See Your Evil is the official remake of the Hollywood film Oculus. The international version was helmed by Mike Fangan.

Oculus which released in 2013 is a supernatural psychological horror film starring Karen Gillan and Brenton Thwaites. It revolves around a young woman who is convinced that an antique mirror is responsible for the death and misfortune that her family suffered.

Talking about the remake Saqib said: If you have seen Oculus you would know what the characters are about. Of course we have slightly changed and tweaked them from the original. But if you have seen the original film you would know.

Dobaara - See Your Evil is slated to release on June 2.
