"Vishal sir has adapted the play brilliantly with anIndian setting. I am playing a press reporter Arshia, who isam amalgamation of Shakespeare's Ophelia and Horatio (a friendto Hamlet).

"Arshia is a Kasmiri girl and the role is different. Ineeded to understand the way a Kashmiri girl behaves and Vishalsir helped me with that. Tabu ma'am and I sang for the filmbut we didn't sing together," she said.
Shot primarily in Kashmir, Haider will hit theatres onOctober 2 with Bang Bang starring Hrithik Roshan.
