Who was Haseena Parkar?

For those not in the know, Haseena Parkar was the sister of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. After her husband Ismail Parkar was shot dead by the Arun Gawli gang in 1991, Haseena rose to the crime world and was soon taking charge of the crime scene in Mumbai. With most of her money coming from settling property and construction disputes, Haseena’s major source of income was extortion.

Shraddha Kapoor to use prosthetic makeup to look Haseena Parkar’s age

Stepping into Haseena Parkar’s shoes is a mammoth task for Shraddha Kapoor. The actress, in real life, is nowhere close to the world Haseena belonged to. In order to bring alive the character of the lady don, Shraddha is doing extensive research on her. She is also preparing to get her body language right. To look Haseena’s age, Shraddha will take help of prosthetic makeup. Reportedly, the costume designer of the film has sourced cloth material from the same shops Haseena used to buy them from. The makers are going all out to present Haseena’s story in as convincing way as possible.
