Renowned filmmaker Jasmeet K Reen, known for being at the helm of the Alia Bhatt flick “Darlings”, is set to take on a new project, which is a film depicting the life of legendary actress Madhubala. The confirmation is hot news, being announced by Sony Pictures International Productions and Brewing Thoughts Pvt, along with co producers Madhur Brij Bhushan who is also her brother, and Aravind Kumar Malviya under the production house of Madhubala Ventures. The announcement comes months after rumours had surfaced regarding a biopic surrounding the life and career of Madhubala.
The news is rather timely, considering that Manish Malhotra, the well known fashion designing mogul of India was setting out to create a film centred around Madhubala as well, and had even planned to cast Kriti Sanon in the titular role. Madhubala’s brother Brij Bhushan, has stated publicly in interviews that the objective of the movie is not to cause offence to the people involved, but to throw light on the more conspicuous aspects of Madhubala’s life. So you can be assured that there will be utmost transparency and authenticity about her legacy.
Madhubala’s stellar career was spread out over 2 decades, during which she starred in about upwards of 50 films, and cemented her status as one of the highest earning artists in the industry. Known and loved for her breathtaking beauty and impeccable performances, her contributions to Indian cinema are precious for its history and where it is now.
