Haseena Parkar, which stars Shraddha Kapoor and Siddhanth Kapoor, is based on Dawood Ibrahim's sister. At the trailer launch of Haseena Parkar, Shraddha had said, "It's difficult for me to express my experience in words for Haseena Parkar. This has been a very exciting and challenging role for me. To play a role of such a strong person... for this true story, it has been a very emotionally challenging experience. When I heard the story and the script of the film, at first I was scared of the challenge. But it was Haseena's story and everything that happened in her life... made me so interested in the film. To be able to play such a real-life strong character was huge. I loved the story, I loved the script. If my director thinks I can do it, then I have to trust him. That's how I took this role."
Coming to Newton, the film stars the National-award winning actor Rajkummar Rao. The film has been appreciated by both the audience and the critics. The film revolves around a government clerk who tries to conduct fair voting on an election day amid the fear of guerrilla attacks and apathy of security forces.
