Teaser details
'Hitman' v/s 'Hitwoman'
The short teaser introduced Qureshi as Baby Karmarkar, India's first female assassin. Qureshi is seen on a train where someone refers to her as a "female hitman." They are quickly corrected, noting it's "hitwoman," which gives us an insight into her character. The film also stars Sikandar Kher. It is produced by Qureshi and Saleem under their banner, Saleem Siblings. The neo-noir comedy marks the debut project of the production house.

'Badlapur' connection
The film's title, Baby Do Die Do, is a play on Qureshi's character's last name in the film. The word "Karmarkar" translates to "Do Die Do." The poster also features a railway station that is reminiscent of the one in Badlapur (2015), directed by acclaimed filmmaker Sriram Raghavan. Qureshi had also starred in the movie alongside Varun Dhawan. The station is named "Vadalpur" in Hindi and "Vadlapur" in English.
