Ankur Bhatia

Actor Ankur Bhatia, who essays the role of Haseena Parkar’s husband, Ibrahim Parkar, in the upcoming movie ‘Haseena Parkar’, recently shared some inside details about Ibrahim Parkar, who was gunned down by members of Arun Gawli’s gang. He revealed, “Initially, I had no idea about Ibrahim except for the fact that he was quite tall and well-built, which was why I was signed up to play the role. However, while interacting with Parkar and Haseena’s family, I discovered another side to his personality. Despite being a macho guy, who also worked as a stuntman in Bollywood films, Ibrahim had a playful side to him as well. A jovial person, Ibrahim was known for his larger-than-life personality and attitude as well as his romantic nature when it came to Haseena, who equally adored him. Needless to say, I was quite pleasantly surprised to know that beneath his tough guy exterior, he was quite the romantic.”

Here’s another interesting detail about the movie. So, at the trailer launch event, director Apoorva Lakhia revealed that Shraddha wasn’t the first choice for the lead role, but Sonakshi Sinha was. Well yes, the movie kept on getting delayed due to the actress’ date issues. She injured herself while shooting for ‘Force 2’, so after having a chat with Sonakshi, Apoorva decided to let her go and roped in Shraddha Kapoor for the character of the mafia queen.
