Sinha confirmed the news to TOI, “It’s a great script, a powerful role, a very intriguing story and an opportunity to play a character who is the polar opposite of me. I have always wanted to be a part of a biopic and this is the perfect one.��It’s going to be extremely challenging for me and I am looking forward to it”.

Lakhia himself also revealed, “Haseena aapa was a very complex personality. I have just picked up the threads of her journey and knitted together the tapestry of her life. I was approached by Sameer Antulay with the idea and Mubina, Sonakshi and I are all set to bring her story alive”.

The film is expected to go on the floors in early 2016.
