Aakanksha Singh to play gangster-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin's wife in Rangbaaz

Aakansha Singh will be seen playing the character of Hena Shahab, the wife of don-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin in the upcoming web series Rangbaaz.

It is said to be a role very different from anything that Aakanksha has done before. She is reportedly doing extensive research for the part by reading about Hena, besides watching videos and interviews of her.

Aakansha is currently shooting for the project in Lucknow.

Aakansha will next be seen in Ajay Devgn-starrer Runway 34, which also features Amitabh Bachchan and Rakul Preet Singh.
