Siddhanth Kapoor says there is no competition with his sister and actress Shraddha Kapoor and that he is very proud of her. Asked if there was any competition with Shraddha because both belong to the same industry, Siddhanth told IANS from Mumbai, “There is no competition with my sister. I really do not see it like that. I think every brother who has a sister doing so well will always be proud no matter what. I am always just so proud of my sister.”

The brother-sister duo featured together in the film Haseena Parkar, which aired on &Pictures on Saturday. Siddhanth played underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and Shraddha essayed the role of his sister Haseena Parkar. Siddhanth described working with Shraddha as “absolutely amazing”.

“Working with my sister was absolutely amazing. I would definitely love to work with her again. It was so much fun. We learnt a lot in life together when we were young and on this film now. So, it was an amazing experience. We played very intense characters but we had a great time for sure,” he added. But the box office response of the biographical crime film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, disappointed Siddhanth, who is the son of actor Shakti Kapoor.

Was there any pressure to work with a family member? “There is no pressure when I work with my family. It’s just a lot of fun.” He made his Bollywood debut in 2013 with the film “Shootout at Wadala” and since then has featured in films like “Ugly” and “Jazbaa”. Talking about his upcoming work, Siddhanth said, “I have two releases this year. I just finished J.P. Dutta’s ‘Paltan’ and I have got a release with Akshay Oberoi, Ravi Kishan and Radhika Apte in the lead called ‘Bombariya’.”

On a gloomy Sunday afternoon, the team of ‘Haseena Parkar’, which features Shraddha Kapoor, Siddhanth Kapoor and Ankur Bhatia, along with the captain of the ship, director Apoorva Lakhia, revealed some interesting facets exclusively to mid-day.

While the team was narrating the challenges and the process they went through while filming, mid-day asked Shraddha Kapoor about her first reaction when she saw her brother Siddhanth Kapoor enacting the character of Dawood Ibrahim.

Did she get emotional?

The actress revealed, “In the film, our father is mercilessly hitting Dawood (Siddhanth) with a belt. Although it was a prosthetic belt, he was hitting him so hard that I could feel him getting hurt. It looked that natural.”

Director Apoorva Lakhia cuts in, “She wept endlessly. For the first time, she had seen somebody hit her brother with a belt. She really cried a lot. It is one of my favourite scenes and I’ve retained that shot of her crying.”

Further talking about the scene, Apoorva shared, “Dawood had already eaten his food, and he was asking for more. Therefore, his father hits him and warns everyone in the house to not provide him with extra food, and throws him out of the house. They belonged to a very poor family. So, Haseena (Shraddha) saves her share of food (2 pieces of bread and gravy) and secretly gives it to her brother to eat.”

This scene explains the beautiful chemistry between the brother-sister and this is the first scene for the public in the film ‘Haseena Parkar‘.

With too much back and forth in the release date, the makers have finally settled down on September 22, and will have a tussle with Sanjay Dutt‘s most-anticipated comeback film ‘Bhoomi‘.
