Rani Mukerji to play Dawood Ibrahim's sister Haseena Parkar in her next?

After a marvelous performance in her last outing - Mardaani - playing the tough cop Shivani Shivaji Rao, Rani Mukerji is all set to take up another bold role. Reportedly, Rani is all set to play Dawood Ibrahim's sister in a film based on her.

Apoorva Lakhia who is helming the film has tentatively titled it Haseena and has approached Rani to play her part. Haseena Parkar, a prominent figure in the underworld came to news after her husband was gunned down in 1991. Avenging his brother-in-law's death, Dawood shot down the murders in the infamous J.J. Hospital shootout. Not just that, post the incident, Haseena moved to Nagpada where she was considered the 'godmother'.

Haseena passed away on July 4 after a cardiac arrest but Apoorva had been planning the project for over a year now. The director has also spent time with Haseena's family to bring in the perfect details to his screen adaptation. The film is supposed to go on floors in November and required Rani to gain some weight for the same. 

If Rani gives a nod to this, it would be her first biopic and given her Mardaani avatar being loved by the audiences, we believe Rani can pull off this role with equal aplomb!
