Shraddha Kapoor’s Haseena Parkar Gets U/A Certification With Two Minor Cuts
New Chairperson of The Central Board of Film Certification, Prasoon Joshi, asks for a couple of changes in Haseena Parkar
Apoorva Lakhia,
the director of Haseena Parkar, received a very pleasant gift a day after his
birthday as the new Chairperson of The Central Board of Film Certification
(CBFC), Prasoon Joshi, has only asked for a couple of edits in the film.
“They requested
one word ‘charas’ to be muted and one cut where a woman is shown being
assaulted during riots. That’s it. I happily went with these cuts. No argument.
The cuts made sense. I must say the censor experience was quick and pleasant.
We were in at 6 pm and
out in a few hours. We got a ‘U/A’ with hardly any cuts,” said Apoorva.
According to the
director, the film is a big risk for Shraddha Kapoor as the character of
Haseena is quite opposite to the roles she has played in the past.
"She plays
these chocolaty lovable heroines, where she sings songs. In real life too she
is a chirpy person. But Haseena (Haseena Parkar, sister of underworld don
Dawood Ibrahim) doesn't have any of these things. Also, everyone was surprised
when I approached her. Shraddha plays the role of dreaded 'aapa' (as Haseena
Parkar was called), who became a underworld mafia queen after she was unjustly
tried and persecuted because she was Dawood Ibrahim's sister. I could only give
her a basic idea of what I wanted and I think she had done a great job. It (the
film) is a bigger risk for her than it's for me," elaborated Apoorva.
"As an actor,
she never questioned, 'Oh why am I playing a mother of four?' That shows how
confident she is of her talent. For a woman who is 30 to play a 50-year-old,
where there is no song and dance what she is known for, is fantastic," he
added.
