Remember the time when the makers of Shootout At Lokhandwala were threatened not to work with Vivek Oberoi? Still, writer Sanjay Gupta, Sanjay Dutt & Suniel Shetty stood with Director Apoorva Lakhia’s decision to go ahead with him playing the role of Indian gangster Maya Dolas.

The show is about a covert operations wing that investigates smaller decoys to expose a grand conspiracy that threatens national security.
"It's a gallant project. I am playing the Pakistani Army Chief. It's a difficult character. (It is) Totally contrary to what I am as a person, a negative role," Ankur Bhatia said.
Talking about the show, he said: "It's a project based on the secret services across borders. I think the level that web series are setting on Ott is commendable. It's important especially during the lockdown. I hope we bring in wholesome entertainment for the audience. Their validation means everything."
The espionage thriller marks the digital debut of director Apoorva Lakhia and also features Saqib Saleem, Iqbal Khan, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Waluscha De Sousa, and Rajesh Tailang.

Actress Shriya Pilgaonkar is excited about her out-and-out action role in Apoorva Lakhia's Crackdown. She says the action thriller is a genre that she has always loved.
The upcoming espionage thriller series is about a mission to unearth a conspiracy that poses a threat to national security. Shriya plays Divya, a simple Maharashtrian girl, who is forced to become a part of the dangerous mission owing to her resemblance to an extremist.
"I love action thrillers and it's a genre I've always wanted to explore so I was obviously excited to be part of 'Crackdown'. I really enjoyed the process of training with the action team for over a month to work on my basics which are extremely important. My action sequences were mainly hand-to-hand combat so that was the focus of my training," said Shriya.

Shraddha Kapoor, who will be next seen playing the lead role in Apoorva Lakhia’s upcoming film ‘Haseena Parkar’, which is based on the life of dreaded don Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena, will be seen playing a loving mother to four kids and Apoorva revealed an interesting trivia about how the young actress prepped for the scenes with her reel kids.
Apoorva said, “There was a scene which was extended when we saw Shraddha cradle her screen kids to stop the crying. She is really patient and mature for her age. I remember her reading pregnancy books and paying attention to details like the way expectant mothers hold their backs.”
He further added, “I ensured that they (the kids) arrived two-three hours before shooting commenced and hung out together with Shraddha and Ankur Bhatia, playing and talking to each other. We also instructed the real parents to not be around during the shoot.

If only Haseena Parkar didn’t suffer from the curse of a clunky, inept, shoddy central performance, it would have been a far more watchable potboiler on gangsterism. And I use the word ‘potboiler’ with all due respect. It’s not easy to make a massy masala movie out of the mayhem and murkiness of the mafia kingdom.
Rahul Dholakia’s Raees earlier this year wedded crime and kitsch. Apoorva Lakhia does it with a fair share of elan and chutzpah. Haseena Parkar is about that Dubai-based gangster who allegedly ran his nefarious business activities in Mumbai through his sister in the 1990s.
The brother and the sister had themselves a blast.
Fortuitously, Lakhia doesn’t miss Da-wood for the trees.

Shraddha Kapoor, who will be next seen playing the intimidating Haseena Aapa in Apoorva Lakhia’s upcoming gangster drama ‘Haseena Parkar’, is blessed with a petite figure, but the actress surprised the film team with her strength while filming a crucial scene involving her reel husband Ankur Bhatia, who plays Ibrahim Parkar.
A source attached to the film unit revealed that while filming Ibrahim’s death sequence, Shraddha was required to carry Bhatia on her shoulders after he gets shot multiple times. Though the team suggested that Shraddha use a body double, she insisted on performing it on her own and managed to carry the tall and well-built Bhatia on her shoulders for the scene. Needless to say, the entire unit was awestruck by her.
