Now that’s what you call a break! Indian actors and actresses have always looked up to Hollywood to give a boost to their (international) career, but if the wagging tongues are to be believed then Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi can count herself as the luckiest of them all.

News is that she is being considered for the forthcoming edition of The Mummy, also featuring Hollywood royalty Tom Cruise. Too boot, her role, if she gets it, is opposite Tom C. All I can say is that Huma Q is no less an actress than Priyanka Chopra (who has become a known celebrity in America as well) and her break would be far superior than Priyanka C’s. Yes, I foresee a catfight in the near future.
