Haider, inspired by William Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet, is the third installment of Bhardwaj's trilogy after Maqbool and Omkara, which were based on Macbeth and Othello respectively. The film will hit theatres on October 2.



The film stars Shahid Kapoor as Haider and Shraddha plays his tragic lover. The actress said her role in the film was difficult and challenging, but the director made her feel at ease.



"This is my fifth film. The role was difficult and challenging because the character which I am playing is not only of a lover but also a best friend. It was my first intense role and was the most emotional, moving and challenging experience," she said.



"But because of atmosphere on the sets and Vishal sir, everything went smooth. There is so much love coming your way from him... I had to just surrender myself to my director and try my best to give him the best shot. He just makes you feel at ease," Shraddha said, adding she auditioned for the role.
