Over the last few months, biopic films and movies based on real-life incidents have become more customary in Bollywood. While many of them amazed us in theatres, there are plenty of interesting biopics on the way.
One of them will be ‘Haseena’, based on the real story of underworld don and mafia gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s sister. Touted as one of the most authentic film developed based on Dawood’s story, the film has Bollywood sister-brother duo playing onscreen roles of Haseena and Dawood (sister and brother) as well.
Filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia, who directed Ram Charan’s Zanjeer in the past, is helming the project wherein actress Shraddha Kapoor is playing the lead role Haseena and her brother Siddhant will be seen as Dawood. As the makers, on Monday unveiled its first look featuring Shraddha, Bollywood is highly in praise for the actress.
Since the character has negative appeal, Shradhha Kapoor’s look was quite rugged and completely different from what we got see from her in the past. The black mascara on her eyes are making her look more audacious and bold. Since Shraddha was always confined to glamorous roles and had never tried something offbeat, it’s going to be definitely a challenging role for her.
The film will bring to screen the life of Haseena from the age of 17 till 40. As Haseena had passed away in the year 2014, it was tough for the ‘Ok Jaanu’ actress who had not many inputs to understand her antics. However, she’s confident of getting into the character impressively. Titled as Haseena-The Queen of Mumbai, the Bollywood biopic will stride into cinemas on 14th July, 2017.
