Shraddha Kapoor will next be seen in Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parkar’s biopic titled ‘Haseena: The Queen of Mumbai’. While this is Shraddha’s first biopic, it also marks her first female protagonist venture and she is extremely excited about the same.
As reported by the DNA, the makers have forbidden everyone, right from Shraddha herself to all the junior artists from carrying their phones and wallets on the sets. A source from the sets reveals, “Shraddha is currently shooting as the 45-year-old Haseena Parkar on the sets, but before that, they had shot for the ’70s era. A huge set has been constructed at Essel Studios to maintain the authenticity of that time. The whole film is predominantly set in Mumbai of the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. Old photos of the Nagpada area have been used as reference to build the sets.”
He further added, “The makers are so keen to capture the whole look and feel of the time that they had bought 300 fake watches for the junior artistes and Shraddha and her brother Siddhant, so they didn’t look out-of-turn. Also, while shooting the earlier scenes, it was noticed that some phones would stick out from trousers or shirts, spoiling the take. Hence, this decision was taken by the production team.”
Helmed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Nahid Khan, the film is all set to hit the theatres on 14th July 2017.
