In Apoorva Lakhia’s Haseena Parkar biopic, Siddhanth Kapoor plays Dawood Ibrahim. Shooting started in October in Mumbai with the song “Bantai”, followed by 7 days long shoot in Bangkok. When his sister, Shraddha who plays an important role in the film joined the cast on Tuesday for a photoshoot. Haseena’s daughter Umaira, son Alishah, nephew Sameer Antulay, and a few other family members, were present on the sets.
“They stayed for a few hours and were excited to interact with the film’s team. Shraddha and Siddhanth had a brief conversation with them, so did Ankur Bhatia who plays Ibrahim Parkar, Haseena’s husband, in the film. The Parkar family even complimented Ankur on his close resemblance to Ibrahim,” informs a source. The film indulges into Haseena’s dealings with slum redevelopment authorities, negotiating overseas rights of Hindi films, the Hawala racket and the territorial wars among cable operators.
For the first time Shraddha and Siddhanth will share screen space and they both believe that their biggest strength is their understanding of each other. “We’re extremely close, more like best friends. Shra’s my person,” Siddhanth had told Mirror.
