Madhubala's
sister
has
revealed
that
a
biopic
that
was
planned
on
the
late
star
with
Imtiaz
Ali
attached
as
a
director
is
not
moving
forward
because
of
family's
opposition.
Madhubala's
sister,
Madhur
Brij
Bhushan,
said
the
biopic,
which
was
to
be
announced
on
Friday
on
the
star's
87th
birth
anniversary,
isn't
happening
now.
"They
(the
family)
are
saying
please
don't
go
ahead
with
it
but
we
will
make
it.
Some
way
or
the
other,
we
will
convince
them
and
make
it," Madhur
told
the
media
agency.
Madhur
said
while
Ali
has
terminated
his
current
contract,
she's
not
sure
the
director
will
be
attached
to
the
project
in
the
future.
"I
wouldn't
know
if
he
would
be
still
attached.
He
terminated
the
contract
because
of
my
family.
He's
a
gentleman,
I
have
nothing
against
him.
When
he
saw
that
the
family
isn't
agreeing,
he
must've
felt...
May
be
for
the
time
being
he
has
put
it
aside,
he
may
reconsider
it,
you
never
know."
Madhur
said
the
children
of
her
sister,
Kaneez,
aren't
letting
her
speak
to
Kaneez
to
get
the
required
No
Objection
Certificate
(NoC).
"I
am
trying
my
best.
Her
children
aren't
allowing
me
to
talk
to
her.
She
is
a
93-year
old
woman
and
at
that
age
people
talk
something
which
makes
no
sense
so
maybe
because
of
that
the
children
aren't
willing.
I
don't
know
what's
happening,
why
they
aren't
allowing
me
to
talk
to
her.
"If
they
allow
me,
she
will
be
in
a
better
frame
of
mind
and
we
will
be
able
to
sort
it
out.
She's
not
in
India,
she's
in
New
Zealand."
The
biopic
was
planned
a
year
ago
and
Madhur
says
they
were
supposed
to
make
an
announcement
at
that
time.
"Unfortunately,
it
didn't
work
out
because
people
concerned
were
busy
with
their
shootings.
Then
it
got
further
delayed.
Then
family
members
opposed
it.
But
I'll
try
my
best
to
make
it
and
by
April-May,
you'll
get
the
good
news,"
she
concluded.
