The actor was heard saying, “Apoorva and me used to play cricket a lot and one day, he summoned me over to his place and asked me if I know who Haseena Parkar was? I said I have no idea as though I had heard or read about Dawood, I was absolutely clueless about the fact that he had a sister!

“After that, Apoorva told me that he wants me to play Dawood in a film based on Haseena’s life. My first reaction was that Apoorva was joking with me because I could not believe this at all!”

Sonakshi Sinha has opened up about the rumors of a strained relationship with her brothers, Luv and Kussh. The actress addressed the speculation and revealed whether the rumors took a toll on her mental health.
“It’s natural that my background influences my work. It’s not just me. All of us are shaped by our life experiences,” Tripathi said. “We are nothing without them."
