Shraddha Kapoor to play 15-year-old in Haseena

While everyone knows Shradha Kapoor plays Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parkar in Apoorva Lakhia’s Haseena, not many know that for nearly 30 minutes of the film Shradha plays a 15-year old. And she carries off the look of the 15-year- old character without prosthetics.

“The prosthetics come in later, when Shradha has  to look 40  and 50. Shradha is small built. The makers will pad her up, make her look tall bulky and imposing. It was the young 15-year old Haseena that was worrying  the film’s director. You see , if he had taken any other actress he would have had to cast another child actor to play Haseena. But Shradha  took on the challenge of looking 15. And in the trial shoot she pulled it off effortlessly.That’s the advantage of being petite,” says a source close to the project.
