Shraddha says she is lucky to be a part of Vishal Bhardwaj's project
Highlights
- Actress Shraddha Kapoor feels lucky to be a part of filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming project Haider at such an early stage of her career.
- Haider, an adaptation of Hamlet, completes Vishal's trilogy of William Shakespeare's tragedies after Macbeth and Othello and has a stellar star cast of Shahid Kapoor, Tabu, Kay Kay Menon and Irrfan besides the actress.
- "I still can't believe that I am a part of Vishal sir's Haider. It's such a surreal experience for me. I am lucky that he has given me this opportunity at such an early stage of my career.
- "It has an ensemble starcast of veteran actors like Tabu, Kay Kay Menon and Irrfan. I feel it's an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Shraddha, who is just four-films-old in the industry, told PTI.
- In the film adaptation, Shraddha is playing Hamlet's tragic lover Ophelia.
- "Vishal sir has adapted the play brilliantly with an Indian setting. I am playing a press reporter Arshia, who is am amalgamation of Shakespeare's Ophelia and Horatio (a friend to Hamlet). I read Hamlet in my school but I don't remember it well. Sir's (Vishal) script was enough to understand all these characters," she said.
- After the success of Teri galliyan in Ek Villain, Shraddha has once again sung a Kashmiri folk song in Haider.
- "Arshia is a Kasmiri girl and the role is different. I needed to understand the way a Kashmiri girl behaves and Vishal sir helped me with that. Tabu ma'am and I sang for the film but we didn't sing together," she said.
- Shot primarily in Kashmir, Haider will hit theatres on October 2 with Bang Bang starring Hrithik Roshan.
