Shraddha Kapoor, who will be featuring in her first biopic based on Haseena Parkar's life, had to do lot of research. Shraddha spent a lot of time in the place she lived in, Nagpada. Haseena Parkar, known as the Aapa of Nagpada, had a huge role to play in the life of the people living there, who had seen the journey of the woman and some were even part of it.

 While going through the learning process of Haseena as a person, Shraddha and director Apoorva Lakhia decided that it would be great practice to meet the real people who has seen Haseena and lived around her. For a week, everyday Shraddha visited Nagpada. She visited the real house of Haseena and met her family and grand children.

The actress even spoke to people who were there during the incident which took place with Ibrahim Parkar, husband of Haseena Parkar which is being played by Ankur Bhatia.

The actress was keen to know experiences that individuals from Nagpada had when she was alive. Apoorva, who spent time with the real Haseena, made sure that Shraddha gets to know all sides of Haseena Parkar.
