Sonakshi Sinha to Play Dawood Ibrahim’s Sister in the Biopic

Sonakshi Sinha has been roped in to play Dawood Ibrahim’s sister, Haseena Parkar, in the biopic, which is to be helmed by Apoorva Lakhia. Sonakshi confirmed the news to TOI, saying, “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”.

Haseena was seventh amongst the twelve sisters of the underworld don and was also the closest to Dawood. She died in 2014 following a cardiac arrest. Haseena’s story is quite fascinating and is being made in a film, which is to be produced by Mubina Rattonsey.

Talking of the film, the director 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”.
