The rights have been acquired by Sidharth P. Malhotra in collaboration with Saregama and the Amrohi family. With this strong backing, the film has been announced on a mammoth scale, generating significant buzz and anticipation.
Sources close to the project have revealed that the makers have approached Kiara Advani to portray the legendary Meena Kumari in her upcoming biopic.
The film’s director and creative team reportedly believe that Kiara is the perfect choice for the iconic role, given the emotional depth and grace it demands. They have already narrated the script to the actress, and while Kiara is said to have loved the narration, she is yet to give her final nod.
If she signs on, this could very well be the first film she begins shooting post-pregnancy — a detail that adds another layer of anticipation to the project.
With ‘War 2’, ‘Toxic’, and now possibly the Meena Kumari biopic in her lineup, Kiara’s range is poised to explode on screen, and fans have every reason to be thrilled.
Another intriguing aspect is who will be cast opposite her as Kamal Amrohi, the legendary filmmaker and Meena Kumari’s former husband. The chemistry between the leads will be crucial in capturing the poignant intensity of their relationship.
We’d love to hear your casting suggestions:
