Apoorva Lakhia’s highly anticipated biopic on Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parkar is facing a peculiar problem: How to promote the film without any songs?
“As she is playing Haseena Parkar in the biopic, Shraddha cannot sing and dance like she did in Rock On and Half Girlfriend. She has to remain in character. This also means she can’t do any of those filmy things that heroines do while promoting the film,” says a source.
Director Apoorva Lakhia has hit on a brainwave. He will use retro music in a big way to fill the lacuna created by an absence of contemporary songs. Says a source, “The producers have bought the rights of some of the biggest chartbusters of the 1970s including Chura Liya from Yaadon Ki Baarat and Arrey Diwanon Mujhe Pehchanon from Don. These will be used as part of the film’s soundtrack.”
Shraddha will sing a theme song composed by Sachin-Jigar celebrating the life of a woman, who was forever shadowed by her brother’s criminal records. “The song will be mellow moody and melancholic. Shraddha will prove once and for all that she is indeed related to the illustrious Mangeshkar family,” says a source.
