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'
and
completes
Bhardwaj's
trilogy
of
William
Shakespeare's
tragedies
after
'Macbeth'
and
'Othello',
has
a
stellar
star
cast
of
Shahid
Kapoor,
Tabu,
Kay
Kay
Menon,
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,
which
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
galiyan' in
'Ek
Villain',
Sharaddha
has
once
again
sung
a
Kashmiri
folk
song
in
'Haider'.
"Arshia
is
a
Kasmiri
girl
and
the
role
is
different.
I
need
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
along
with
Hrithik
Roshan-starrer
'Bang
Bang'.
