Maverick
filmmaker
Imtiaz
Ali
is
planning
a
biopic
on
actress
Madhubala’s
life.
Madhubala
is
one
of
the
most
iconic
actresses
of
Hindi
cinema.
The
actress
revered
for
her
eternal
beauty
has
been
a
part
of
memorable
movies
such
as
Mahal,
Mr.
&
Mrs.
’55
and
Mughal-e-Azam
to
name
a
few.
The
actress
succumbed
to
a
prolonged
heart
illness
at
the
age
of
36.
According
to
various
media
reports,
Imtiaz
has
recently
acquired
the
rights
to
make
a
biopic
on
Madhubala’s
life
and
could
be
either
developed
into
a
film
or
a
web-series.
The
biopic
is
currently
in
the
development
stage
but
will
cover
all
the
aspects
of
the
actress’s
life,
from
her
humble
beginnings
to
her
big
break
in
the
movie
Neel
Kamal
opposite
showman
Raj
Kapoor
to
her
tumultuous
personal
life
and
illness.
Imtiaz
Ali
acquired
the
official
rights
by
signing
a
Life
Story
Rights
Assignment
Agreement
from
the
actress’s
family.
The
decision
was
taken
to
make
sure
that
there
is
no
scope
for
any
hindrances
in
making
the
biopic.
The
agreement
is
for
the
Hindi
language
rights
only
and
the
project
will
be
made
under
the
filmmakers’
banner
Window
Seat
Films
LLP.
Regarding
the
casting,
there
is
strong
hearsay
in
film
circles
that
Priyanka
Kandwal,
popular
known
as
'Tik
Tok
Madhubala’
may
be
considered
for
the
coveted
project.
On
the
other
hand,
actress
Madhubala’s
sister
Madhur
Brij
Bhushan,
a
few
years
ago
had
mentioned
that
she
would
like
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
to
play
her
sister
on
screen.
She
said,
“There
was
a
time
when
I
wanted
Madhuri
Dixit
to
play
the
role
of
Madhubala
in
her
biopic
but
now
it
has
to
be
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
as
she
has
the
same
naughtiness
that
Madhubala
used
to
have
and
she
is
a
beautiful
actor
too.”
Imtiaz
Ali
is
currently
busy
shooting
his
next
movie
Aaj
Kal
with
Sara
Ali
Khan
and
Kartik
Aaryan,
a
sequel
to
his
2009
directorial
Love
Aaj
Kal.
