Apoorva Lakhia, who is known for his smooth slick thrillers, is preparing for the arrival of his forthcoming film ‘Haseena Parkar’, which depends on the life of feared wear Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena and Apoorva has a fascinating tale about how this undertaking became.
In an open talk, Lakhia conceded, “I was actually approached to make a film on Dawood, which I refused as there have been so many films based on him. But the makers told me that people don’t know much about Dawood’s younger days and this intrigued me so I agreed to meet his family members to get to know more about him.”
Apoorva included this was the point at which he met Haseena and her story intrigued him a ton. “Haseena was this innocent girl from a crime family and what she went through because of her family background, fascinated me a lot and I proposed that we make a film on her instead. Though she was initially reluctant, we finally managed to persuade her to share her story with us and the rest is history.”
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Haseena Parkar stars Shraddha Kapoor, Siddhanth Kapoor and Ankur Bhatia. Delivered by Nahid Khan with Swiss Entertainment and co-created by Sameer Antulay and Babu Tyagi, the film is set to discharge on September 22.
