The teaser for Apoorva Lakhia’s next “Haseena Parkar” is out, and you will find it hard to recognize Shraddha Kapoor, who plays the titular role. The actress will be next seen playing the role of gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena.
While Mirror was the first one to reveal Ankur Bhatia’s look as Ibrahim Parkar playing Shraddha’s on-screen husband in the film. Now the tabloid has also learnt Shraddha will not just play a wife but also a mother of 4 children in Haseena Parkar’s biopic.
Talking about the same director Apoorva Lakhia told Mirror, “It was easier to get her to play a 17-yearold but I also wanted to see if Shraddha was up for the challenge of ageing as the film spans 40 years. After the narration, she told me she needed two days to think about my offer.”

Apoorva informed that Shraddha’s real-life closeness to Aunt Tejaswini Kolhapure’s daughter Vedika made it easy for her to play a mother on-screen. “There was a scene which was extended when we saw Shraddha cradle her screen kids to stop the crying. She is really patient and mature for her age. I remember her reading pregnancy books and paying attention to details like the way expectant mothers hold their backs.”
He further added, “I ensured that they (the kids) arrived two-three hours before shooting commenced and hung out together with Shraddha and Ankur Bhatia, playing and talking to each other. We also instructed the real parents to not be around during the shoot.”
Another task the makers had to deal with was that how much weight would Shraddha had to gain to chronicle 4 decades, and before signing off Apoorva explained, “Haseena gets married at 17, which is followed by four kids. She turns a corner at 45. We shot the film in chronological order to capture the weight gain in the correct sequence.”
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, ‘Haseena Parkar,’ is being presented by Swiss Entertainment and has been produced by Nahid Khan.
‘Haseena Parkar’ is slated to release on August 18.
