Shooting for Apoorva Lakhia's 'Haseena', starring Shraddha Kapoor and her brother Siddhant, has begun in Mumbai. Shraddha was recently seen roaming around Nagpada in a burqa to get under the skin of her character- Haseena Parkar, sister of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. She also met with top city cops of the time and both Dawood and Haseena's schoolteacher and tailor.
"Apoorva and Shraddha are sparing no effort to make sure that the film looks as authentic as possible. After visiting Nagpada a few times in a burqa, to get more information about Haseena's mannerisms, she had a big meeting with the cops of that time, at one of the police clubs in South Mumbai. She met Haseena's and Dawood's school teacher who taught at the same madrasa in Nagpada. She has been having personal meetings with them at Apoorva's home and meeting Haseena's children, family, aunts, and uncles."
The actress realises she needs to get her research and body language correct because if she doesn't, she will face harsh criticism. She will be playing the mother of four children and her age will be shown with the help of prosthetic makeup. "The costume designer has used the same materials from the same shops that Haseena used to buy her materials from."
