Recent reports claiming that Kiara Advani would play the legendary Madhubala in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali-produced biopic have been debunked. An industry source confirmed that these claims are completely baseless and speculative. The much-anticipated project is still in early development, with no official casting announcements made.

The biopic is set to be directed by Jasmeet K. Reen, known for her debut film Darlings, which starred Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, and Vijay Varma. While fans were excited to hear Kiara’s name attached, she is not involved in the project.

Madhubala, a celebrated icon of 1950s Indian cinema, starred in classics like Mughal-e-Azam and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. Despite her early death at 36 due to a congenital heart defect, she remains a timeless figure in Bollywood history.
