New Delhi:
Actress Shraddha Kapoor has double treat for her fans on Monday. On Twitter, the 30-year-old actress shared two pictures of herself as Haseena - the character she plays in the biopic on underworld mafia Dawood Ibrahim's sister Haseena Parkar, captioned: "Younger and older." The biopic titled Haseena: The Queen Of Mumbai, is directed by Apoorva Lakhia, for whom Shraddha has a message. "Thank you Apoorva Lakhia for giving me the opportunity to play this character and for holding my hand throughout," tweeted the actress. While Shraddha plays the protagonist, her brother Siddhanth Kapoor features as Dawood Ibrahim in the film. This is the first time that the real-life brother-sister duo will co-star together.
Earlier this year, Shraddha's first look from the film surprised everyone. With kohl-lined eyes and wearing a determined expression, Shraddha featured against a backdrop of landmarks of Dubai and Mumbai.
In an interview to PTI, Shraddha had revealed that she is both "excited and nervous" about sharing screen space with her brother in Haseena: "I am very excited and nervous because I've been thinking if I have to do a scene with him, I've to forget that he is my bhaiya. He is the character in the film who is also my brother." This is how Shraddha introduced Siddhanth's look as Dawood Ibrahim.
Shraddha and Siddhanth will co-star with actors Sharman Joshi and Ankur Bhatia in Haseena: The Queen Of Mumbai. Haseena: The Queen Of Mumbai is scheduled for July 14. Meanwhile, Shraddha Kapoor will next be seen in Half Girlfriend, co-starring Arjun Kapoor. Half Girlfriend releases on May 19.
