'Baby Do Die Do' teaser: Huma Qureshi steps in as mysterious female assassin 'Baby Karmarkar'
Mumbai, June 10
The much-awaited teaser of Huma Qureshi starrer 'Baby Do Die Do' has been unveiled, offering a glimpse into the dark, quirky and unpredictable world of 'Baby KarMarKar' - described as India's first desi hitwoman.
Led by Huma in the titular role, the film also stars Sikander Kher, Chunky Pandey, Seema Pahwa, Rachit Singh and Marudhar Shekhawat in pivotal roles.
The gritty glimpse traces her story back to childhood while gradually introducing the eclectic mix of characters who inhabit it.
Set against the backdrop of Mumbai, the teaser is packed with intrigue, action and mystery. It opens up the world of Baby Karmarkar while revealing almost nothing about the enigmatic hitwoman herself. Amidst the chaos, a woman carrying a striking red umbrella moves through the city unnoticed, leaving behind a trail of questions and keeping the mystery alive.
Speaking about the film, producer Saqib Saleem said, "With this teaser, we're finally opening the doors to Baby's world. Beyond the mystery of Baby KarMarKar lies an ensemble of unforgettable characters, each adding a new layer to the story. We're excited for audiences to start connecting the dots and step into this unpredictable universe with us," as per a press release.
Director Nachiket Samant added, "Baby Do Die Do isn't just the story of Baby KarMarKar- it's the story of an entire world that exists around her. This teaser introduces some of the people who make that world so entertaining, unpredictable and mysterious. Every character brings a distinct energy to the narrative, and this is only the beginning of what awaits audiences on July 3."
Samant also opened up on Huma as a professional female assassin.
"She kills and disappears into the crowd. That's what's so unique about her- it's as much about the escape as it is about the kill. All the rootedness, Huma brought. It's one thing to write a fantastic character- you still need a solid actor to bring it to life," he said.
Directed by Nachiket Samant and produced by Saqib Saleem under his banner Saleem Siblings in association with Pune 04 Films, 'Baby Do Die Do' promises an unpredictable ride packed with mystery, mayhem and surprises.
The film releases in theatres on July 3, 2026.

Looks like a fresh concept for Bollywood. Hope they don't mess it up with unnecessary masala. The teaser gives me 'Killing Eve' meets 'Gangs of Wasseypur' vibes. Sikander Kher as the villain? Count me in! 👊
Huma Qureshi as a desi hitwoman? That's a casting choice I never knew I needed! The Mumbai setting with the local trains and chai stalls in the teaser looks authentic. Hope the action sequences are grounded and not too over-the-top. 🤞
I'm a bit skeptical about the whole 'female assassin' trend, but Huma has the acting chops to pull it off. The teaser doesn't reveal much, which is good - leaves room for surprise. Also, Chunky Pandey is in it? That's unexpected! 😄
As someone who usually watches Hollywood action films, this actually looks promising. The 'desi hitwoman' angle is unique, and Huma Qureshi has a commanding screen presence. Hope the writing does justice to the premise. The release date is far though - July 2026? That's a long wait!
I appreciate the attempt to create a strong female character, but I hope Baby Karmarkar has a proper backstory and isn't just a cool killing machine. The teaser mentions her childhood - that's promising. Huma deserves more such meaty roles. 👏
