The biopic of celebrated actor and poet Meena Kumari has been in the making for the past few years. Now, as per reports, Kiara Advani has been approached to play the role of Meena Kumari in the film.
A source told India Today, “The makers have approached Kiara Advani to portray the legendary Meena Kumari in her upcoming biopic. 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 confirmed, this would be Kiara’s first film post-pregnancy.
The film has been backed by Sidharth P Malhotra in collaboration with Saregama and the Amrohi family. Meena Kumari is known for acting in films like Pakeezah (1972), Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) and Baiju Bawra (1952) among others.
