Madhubala biopic to be helmed by ‘Darlings’ director Jasmeet K Reen

Jasmeet K Reen, who is best known for helming the Alia Bhatt dark comedy Darlings, has announced her next. Reen will take on the responsibility of directing a biopic on the iconic Indian actress Madhubala. Reen will also serve as the film’s writer, and the makers are currently in the process of finding the right actress to slip into Madhubala’s role. Going by the star’s fandom across the country, doing any justice to the role would require tremendous talent and any actress who rises to the challenge will have big shoes to fill. The film is set to begin production in 2024 and it will be produced by Madhubala Ventures Private Limited and Madhubala’s youngest sister, Madhur Brij Bhushan.
