Priya Gupta (BOMBAY TIMES; August 3, 2015)
Mumbai underworld don Dawood
Ibrahim has 12 siblings. His sister Haseena Parkar, who was at the
seventh position, lived at Nagpada in Mumbai, was closest to Dawood, but
died in 2014 having suffered a heart attack. She has a fascinating
story that is now being made into a film, that is being produced by
Mubina Rattonsey and directed by Apoorva Lakhia. We have exclusively
learnt that the beautiful actress Sonakshi Sinha has been finalised to
play Haseena in the film, titled Haseena - The Queen of Mumbai.
Confirming the news to us, Sonakshi said, “It's a great script, a
powerful role, a very intriguing story and an opportunity to play a
character who is the polar opposite of me. I have always wanted to be a
part of a biopic and this is the perfect one. It's going to be extremely
challenging for me and I am looking forward to it.“ Apoorva Lakhia
said, “Haseena aapa was a very complex personality. I have just
picked up the threads of her journey and knitted together the tapestry
of her life. I was approached by Sameer Antulay with the idea and
Mubina, Sonakshi and I are all set to bring her story alive.'' The film
that will begin shooting early next year will capture 40 years of
Haseena's life and is the emotional saga of a woman and what it meant to
be Dawood Ibrahim's sister.
