Actress Shraddha Kapoor who plays underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's sister Haseen Parkar in her biopic, said she went through several look tests. Speaking about director Apoorva Lakhia, she said, “He has done lot of research on the film and it's unbelievable. Its' a process and every single day we used to discuss how Haseena Parkar should come alive on the screen.” Shraddha added, “He said to get into the skin of the character, it is important I look like her and so we tried out many things. I hope everyone enjoys when they see the film.”
“He (Apoorva) asked me to get into the skin of the character, it is important I look like her and so we tried out many things. I hope everyone enjoys when they see the film.” Speaking at the unveiling of a romantic track from the movie, Lakhia said, “By the trailer one might feel that it is a violent film but that's not the case. Haseena was married to her elder brother's best friend, Ibrahim, who used to run a restaurant and in his free time used to do stunt in films. She got married at a young age and they had four children.”
He said the godmother had a tragic life that hardened her. “The gang war between Arun Gawli and Dawood Ibrahim and Arun's men shot Haseena's husband. She carried him on her shoulder. It's a tragic life. In some areas she is a godmother and in some areas she is a gangster, and that is for people to decide.”
