‘Haseena Parkar’ to release in September

Check this out!

director Apoorva Lakhia on Tuesday cleared the air about the film’s release being postponed and said the film is releasing on September 22.

Originally, the film was supposed to release on July 14 but it was pushed to August 18 to avoid the clutter at the box office.

Then, according to a statement issued on behalf of the producers, the film’s release date was finalised as September 22. When media asked about the film’s release being postponed again, Lakhia said: “People can write what they want as long as we are coming in the news. We are coming to theatres on the 22nd of September and we never said anything otherwise. We are really looking forward to it and today we start the promotions for the film.”

He was present at the Twitter office for the song launch of the film. Asked why the makers chose to release a romantic song first, Lakhia said: “From the trailer it seems like a very violent and action oriented film but that is not the case, Haseena was married to her elder brother’s best friend Ebrahim who not only ran a restaurant but in his free time used to work as a stunt man in Bollywood.”

“They were madly in love and she was married at a very young age. She had a beautiful marriage and she lost her husband at a young age. This song is by Sachin and Jigar and we thought this would be an ideal song to show the world a softer side of Haseena Parkar because when she was young she was very romantic but her circumstances were what got her where she reached,” he added.

Shraddha Kapoor plays the title role along with her brother Siddhanth Kapoor as Dawood Ebrahim and Ankur Bhatia as Haseena’s husband. —IANS
